About this map

Northome and the surrounding timber and lake country of Koochiching County are captured in this 2011 survey, showing the town's civic footprint including the Northome Post Office and North Municipal Park Campground. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Popple River and the North Cormorant River, which feed into numerous water bodies like Island Lake and Bartlett Lake. Small rural clusters such as Bergville and Orth remain connected by the historic corridor of the Blue Ox Trl.

Genealogists and local historians can find specifically named sites including Forest Hill Cemetery, Oakum Cemetery, and the Bergville Cemetery. The presence of the Northome Lookout Tower overlooking the wooded terrain south of town indicates the ongoing importance of fire observation in this northern forest region. The map provides a clear record of the area's transportation network, from County Hwy-30 to remote routes like Nesseth Rd.
