2019 Map of McCarthy Creek

About this map

W Br Knife River and its numerous tributaries, including McCarthy Cr and Little Knife River, define the hydrology of this landscape in eastern Minnesota. The 2019 survey documents a rural area characterized by its network of township and county roads that follow the grid system of the public land surveys. While much of the terrain is defined by the natural drainage of Captain Jacobson Cr and Stanley Cr, localized infrastructure like the Richard B Helgeson Airport indicates modern transportation development amidst the forest and wetlands. The map traces historical transit corridors such as Old Drummond Rd and Rossini Rd, providing a detailed look at the rural settlement patterns in Alden Township and the surrounding areas of St. Louis and Lake Counties.
