2010 Map of The Pines

About this map

The Pines sits in the northeast corner of this Koochiching County landscape, a small settlement area amidst the expansive north woods of Minnesota. The map illustrates a remote infrastructure pattern defined by long, straight jurisdictional boundaries and utility corridors, such as the Kooc 16 Border and Kooc 14 Border. Transport in the region is anchored by a network of rural roads including County Hwy-82 and County Hwy-122, which provide the primary access to the scattered clearings and homesteads. The naming of Indian Pines Rd reflects the local timber and landscape character of this borderland territory. This 2010 edition serves as a clear record of the modern rural road grid and land divisions in a sparsely populated section of the state before further contemporary development.
