About this map

Pelican Lake defines the western edge of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the settlement of Orr serves as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness. The map documents a transition from lakefront recreation to the dense woods of the Superior National Forest. Historic local settlements like Glendale and Cusson are positioned along the Us-53 corridor, which serves as the primary north-south artery through Saint Louis County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Leiding Cem and the Po in Orr, alongside several established recreation sites such as Pine Acres Resort and Campground and Chippewa Campground. The intricate water system is well-defined, featuring the Pelican River, Cusson Cr, and Sucker Cr, which connect larger bodies like Swan Lake and Moose Lake. The presence of the Orr Regional Airport and various timber-access roads like Vou Camp Rd reflects the modern economy of the Iron Range region.
