2022 Map of Rauch

About this map

The Little Fork River meanders through this portion of the Minnesota Northwoods, shaping a landscape defined by its wetlands and riverine corridors. The small settlement of Rauch serves as a central point in this sparsely populated region, where the Valley River and Prairie Cr drain into the larger watershed. This map captures the modern layout of rural infrastructure, including a network of forestry and local roads like Co Hwy 75 and Industrial Ave that support the local timber-driven economy. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saints Peter and Paul Cem and Silverdale Cem, providing vital records for families rooted in these northern townships. The presence of the Koochiching Co and Itasca Co boundary in the southern reaches of the quadrangle marks the intersection of these two expansive counties in a terrain largely composed of bogs and forests.
