  • Kettle River, Minnesota
    Kettle River, Minnesota 1. The region surrounding the river: a. The Kettle River is located in east-central Minnesota. The river has its headwaters in Carlton County and flows generally north-south, passing through Pine County and into the St. Croix River. The basin has a long history of faults and glacial activity. The bedrock formations are of pre-Cambrian metamorphic and volcanic rock. This layer is covered by Cambrian sandstone and unconsolidated glacial till. Outcroppings of sandstone and pre-Cambrian lava are frequent. The area is ragged and rolling with dramatic local relief. The area has gone through a dramatic ecological change since the logging days when the white pine was the dominant vegetation. Today the region has a varied pattern of red pine, spruce, white pine, white birch maple, oak, aspen, and basswood. Major transportation lines in the area include Interstate 35 running north-south through the basin and Minnesota 23 running northeast- southwest through the basin. Minnesota 48 crosses the river east-west just east of Hinckley, Minnesota, and Minnesota Route 65 runs north-south about 25 miles west of the river. Land use in the basin is limited to agriculture and timber production. The Mhmeapolis-St. Paul area to the south supports heavy industry and manufacturing. b. Population within a 50-mile radius was estimated at 150, 700 in 1970. The Duluth, Minnesota/Superior, Wisconsin, metropolitan area lies just outside the 50-mile radius and had an additional 132, 800 persons in 1970. c. Numerous state forests are found in this part of Minnesota. They are Chengwatona State Forest, DAR State Forest, General C.
