2016 Map of McCarthy Creek

About this map

The W Br Knife River and its numerous tributaries, including McCarthy Cr, Little Knife River, and Captain Jacobson Cr, define the drainage patterns of this northeastern Minnesota landscape. This 2016 survey shows the transition from the upland woods of the St. Louis and Lake County border toward the developing rural residential and transport infrastructure. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the course of the Knife River, which gathers waters from S Br Mud Cr before flowing south. Cultural landmarks such as the Richard B Helgeson Airport sit alongside a network of township and county routes like Rossini Rd, Fox Farm Rd, and Maki Rd, reflecting the modern rural layout of Alden Township. The map provides a precise look at property divisions and local landmarks like Stanley Cr and the winding Co Hwy 41 corridor.
