2019 Map of Silverdale

About this map

Silverdale and Greaney anchor this portion of Northern Minnesota, where the forest gives way to a complex system of winding waterways. The landscape is defined by the meanders of the Little Fork River and the Sturgeon River, which thread through the southern reaches, while the Willow River and Bois Forte Cr drain the northern sections. This area sits at a significant political junction where the boundaries of Koochiching, Itasca, and St. Louis counties converge. The presence of the Superior National Forest in the southeast quadrant highlights the heavily timbered nature of the terrain. Local history and genealogy interest is centered around the Greaney Cemetery, located just south of its namesake settlement along St. Louis Co Rd 503. The road network, including Industrial Ave and Co Hwy 74, reflects the rural infrastructure of this timber and river-heavy region.
