2022 Map of McCarthy Creek

About this map

St. Louis and Lake County boundaries meet in this northern Minnesota landscape, defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into the Knife River. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of McCarthy Cr, Little Knife River, and Captain Jacobson Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the North Shore highlands. Human activity is evidenced by a grid of rural roads and township divisions, including Rossini Rd and Fox Farm Rd. A notable aviation landmark, the Richard B Helgeson Airport, sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle near S Airport Rd, serving as a modern point of interest in an otherwise largely undeveloped area of timber and wetlands.
