2022 Map of Wildwood

About this map

Wildwood is situated within a landscape characterized by the meandering path of Caldwell Brook and an extensive network of wetlands in northern Minnesota. This modern survey illustrates the remote character of Koochiching County, where the settlement pattern is sparse and largely defined by forest access roads and township lines. Local history and genealogy interest centers on the Wildwood Cem, located north of the primary settlement area near Co Rd 27. The terrain is navigated by a series of descriptive and numbered routes, including the Gemmell Ridge Forest Rd and the strikingly named Smallpox Rd. These corridors reflect the region's reliance on timber management and rural accessibility, providing a clear record of the area's contemporary geography and land use.
