2019 Map of Northome South

About this map

Northome sits at the northern edge of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the wooded wetlands and lake systems of the Chippewa National Forest. The map documents a sparsely populated region defined by its water and timber heritage, where small settlements like Orth and Bergville are connected by rural routes such as Co Hwy 30 and Island Lake Rd. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of glacial features, including Nesseth Lake, Island Lake, and the meandering courses of the N Cormorant River and Popple River. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cem, Oakum Cem, and Bergville Cem, which provide clues to early family settlement patterns across the Koochiching and Itasca county line.
