2019 Map of Schroeder

About this map

Lake Superior defines the rugged coastline of Cook County, where the rocky shore meets the dense timber of the Superior National Forest. This 2019 survey captures the developed corridor along Minnesota Highway 61, anchored by the township of Schroeder and the industrial imprint of Taconite Harbor. The landscape is dominated by the Sawtooth Mountains, which force a series of dramatic watercourses toward the lake, including the Cross River, Temperance River, and Two Island River. These rivers dictate the movement of people and resources, with the Superior Hiking Trail and North Shore State Trail weaving through the upland interior. Local history is grounded in sites like the Schroeder Cem, while the inland geography is dotted with remote water bodies such as Dyers Lake, Dogwood Lake, and Richey Lake.
