2016 Map of Orr

About this map

Pelican Lake dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the settlement of Orr serves as a gateway to the Superior National Forest. This 2016 survey documents a region defined by its water and wood, with several established points along the shoreline including Bessette Point, Indian Point, and Oak Point. The town of Orr is situated prominently on Orr Bay, while further north, the community of Cusson sits near the confluence of Cusson Cr and the Pelican River. Local heritage is anchored by the Leiding Cem and the small settlement of Glendale. The map illustrates a complex network of forest roads and county routes, such as Cusson Loop Rd and Sugar Bush Trl, that navigate the wetlands and timberlands. To the south, the Orr Regional Airport and the waters of Rice Lake and the Elbow River mark the transition toward more interior wilderness tracts.
