2022 Map of Nashwauk

About this map

The Mesabi Range defines the southern portion of this landscape, home to the mining community of Nashwauk. This region in Itasca County shows the distinct transition between industrial development and the natural wetlands characteristic of northern Minnesota. To the west, the small settlement of Cooley sits along the southern edge of the map, while the Nashwauk Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the area. North of the town, the terrain becomes a complex network of marshes and forests, accessible by rural routes like N Little Sweden Rd and Co Rd 58. Several water bodies, including Shoal Lake and Shafer Lake, dot the northern sections, with O'Brien Cr draining toward the southeast. The survey details the town's street grid, including Deering Ave E and Platt Ave E, alongside the vast surrounding timber and iron-rich lands.
