2022 Map of Orr

About this map

The settlement of Orr sits at the head of Orr Bay, serving as a central gateway to the waterways of Northern Minnesota. This 2022 survey captures the modern road network and land divisions within the Superior National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the expansive Pelican Lake and its intricate shoreline. The map documents smaller communities such as Cusson to the north and Glendale to the south, connected by a transit corridor that includes Old Hwy 53 and the Orr Regional Airport. Local genealogy and land use are rooted in sites like Leiding Cem and residential clusters at Bessette Point. The hydrography of the region is particularly dense, with the Pelican River and Elbow River winding through timberlands and wetlands toward larger bodies of water like Moose Lake and Rice Lake.
