2013 Map of Pelland

About this map

Pelland sits at a geographic pivot point where the Little Fork River joins the Rainy River, marking the international boundary between Minnesota and Canada. This 2013 survey illustrates the northern frontier's transportation network, anchored by the junction of Us-71 and MN-11. These highways trace the riverbanks, serving as vital corridors in Koochiching County. The landscape south of the settlement is defined by local access routes such as Town Road 208, which navigates the low-lying terrain near the river fork. The map detail highlights the sparse, rural nature of the borderlands, where the water systems traditionally dictated the patterns of movement and habitation before being paralleled by the modern road system.
