2013 Map of Northome South

About this map

The boundary between Koochiching Co and Itasca Co divides this Northwoods landscape, where the southern portion of Northome serves as the primary hub of activity. The settlement pattern follows the corridor of Us-71 and MN-46, with smaller communities like Orth and Bergville situated further south. Much of the eastern terrain is protected within the Chippewa National Forest, characterized by numerous water bodies such as Nesseth Lake, Island Lake, and the winding Popple River. Local history is anchored by several cemeteries, including Forest Hill Cem, Oakum Cem, and Bergville Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The Northome Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the intersection of forest and wetland, while Bartlett Lake defines the northern municipal limits near the North Municipal Park Campground.
