2010 Map of Northome North

About this map

Battle Lake Hills Ski Area sits at the heart of this northern landscape, marking a localized recreational hub within the glacial terrain of Koochiching County. The area is defined by its abundant water systems, where the South Branch Battle River meanders toward the larger Battle Lake and Bartlett Lake at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Transportation is a mix of utilitarian county highways and historic trails, including the Blue Ox Trl and Warren Trl, which navigate the wetlands and forests near Armstrong Creek and Pine Lake. On the southeastern periphery, the Northome Municipal Airport provides an essential connection for this part of the Northwoods. The map reveals a transition between managed recreational space and the natural flow of creeks like Elm Creek and Hoover Creek, illustrating how aviation, leisure, and regional water management intersected by the early 21st century.
