2013 Map of Marr Island

About this map

The rocky North Shore of Lake Superior meets the densely forested uplands of Superior National Forest on this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the shoreline at Paradise Beach to the rising elevations of Bloomquist Mountain and Caspers Hill. This section of Cook County is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the Brule River and Flute Reed River, which carve through the terrain toward the lake. While the coastal corridor is navigated by MN-61, more primitive routes like Manitou Trl and Camp 20 Rd reach into the interior. Local history is anchored by the Trinity Lutheran Cem located inland, while the eponymous Marr Island sits just offshore, marking a distinctive landmark in this relatively unpopulated stretch of the Minnesota coast.
