2022 Map of McGrath

About this map

McGrath serves as the primary settlement in this northern Minnesota landscape, situated where the Soo Line South: Aitkin Trl cuts across the terrain. This trail, following a former rail corridor, reflects the region's historical reliance on timber and rail transport. The survey highlights a wet, low-lying environment dominated by drainage systems like the Snake River and Bergman Brook, along with smaller water bodies such as Bear Lake. Local history is anchored at Grace Cem south of the main town site, while a network of recreational paths including the Snake River Trl and Red Top Trl suggests a modern transition toward conservation and outdoor use. The map also clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Aitkin Co and Kanabec Co, providing a clear view of how these remote townships are organized.
