2011 Map of Mineral Center

About this map

The rugged shoreline of Lake Superior and the international border along the Pigeon River define this corner of the Arrowhead region in the early 21st century. The map details a landscape of high points and hydrology, dominated by Mount Sophie and Mount Maud. Evidence of the area's long-standing importance as a transit corridor is visible in the Grand Portage Trl and the historical Partridge Portage near Partridge Falls. Local history is anchored at the Mineral Center Cemetery, situated near the junction of County Hwy 17 and Hollow Rock Creek. The drainage patterns of the Reservation River and Red Rock Creek flow southward toward the lake, past the small settlement at Red Rock and offshore features like Pancake Island and Blueberry Island.
