1996 Map of Northome South

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Chippewa National Forest and Blackduck State Forest dominate this landscape on the border of Itasca and Koochiching counties. The town of Northome sits at the northern edge, serving as a gateway to a terrain defined by glacial lakes and wetlands. Local history is anchored by early twentieth-century burial grounds including Forest Hill Cemetery and Oakum Cemetery, along with the small settlement of Bergville and its associated Bergville Cem. The vast expanse of Island Lake to the east and the winding Cormorant River to the south characterize the drainage patterns of this northern Minnesota timber and recreation country. Isolated landmarks such as the Northome Lookout and the community of Orth reflect the era's fire management and rural mail infrastructure in a region where Moose Park and various Township Roads provide the primary access to the interior.
