About this map

Wirt stands at the northern edge of this Northwoods landscape, where the Big Fork River winds through the dense woodlands of the Chippewa National Forest. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous water bodies like Whitefish Lake, Killdeer Lake, and Seaman Lake dotting the terrain. The presence of the Fletcher Cr Impoundment near the eastern boundary illustrates modern water management within the forest's ecosystem.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find the Wirt Cem and Sand Lake Cem clearly marked, providing key points of reference for the small community. The map also detail an extensive network of forest and county roads, including Old Wirt Rd and Co Hwy 36, which navigate the wetlands and timberlands. This map serves as a precise record of the Itasca County wilderness, from the banks of Hinken Cr to the shores of Rush Island Lake.
