2022 Map of Northome South

About this map

Northome sits at the northern edge of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the border between Koochiching Co and Itasca Co divides the terrain. The map documents a sparsely populated region characterized by small clusters of settlement like Orth and Bergville, which are connected by a network of rural routes including Co Hwy 30 and Orth Tower Rd. The influence of the timber and recreation industries is evident through the inclusion of the Chippewa National Forest and the Blue Ox State Trail. Waterways such as the Popple River and N Cormorant River drain the lowlands between scattered bodies of water like Island Lake and Bergville Lake. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of rural burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cem, Oakum Cem, and Bergville Cem.
