Itasca County, Minnesota
Itasca County (/aɪˈtæskə/ eye-TASS-kə) is a county in the Iron Range region of the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 45,014. Its county seat is Grand Rapids. The county is named after Lake Itasca, whose name comes from the Latin veritas caput, meaning "truth" and "head", because it is the true source of the Mississippi River. Parts of the Bois Forte and Leech Lake Indian reservations are in the county.
The boundaries of Itasca County were first defined in 1849, upon the creation of the Minnesota Territory. It was originally much larger, stretching over today's Cook, Lake, Saint Louis, Koochiching, eastern Lake of the Woods, eastern Beltrami, Itasca, northern Aitkin, and northern Carlton Counties.
Itasca County was originally named for Lake Itasca (no longer in the county's present borders), which was determined to be the true source of the Mississippi River. After many disputes over the Mississippi's source, Henry Schoolcraft set out to find it in 1832. When he did, he named it Lake Itasca. At its source, the Mississippi can be crossed on foot. It then flows past Bemidji, through Itasca County, to the Gulf of Mexico.
The terrain of Itasca County is hilly, heavily wooded, and studded with lakes and ponds. It generally slopes to the east, with its highest areas on its upper western border, at 1,437 ft (438 m) ASL. The county has an area of 2,928 square miles (7,580 km2), of which 2,668 square miles (6,910 km2) is land and 260 square miles (670 km2) (8.9%) is water. It is Minnesota's third-largest county by area.
Itasca County's landscape varies greatly. The low plains, rolling hills, and wetlands are where there was glacial activity in the past. This area has been forested for centuries. The forests include pines, spruces, hardwoods, cedar, and tamarack. Forestry and logging are major sectors in the area's economy.
Itasca County has many bodies of water, including creeks, rivers, and more than 1,400 lakes. The bodies of water support various wildlife species. Major bodies of water in the county include Lake Winnibigoshish, Pokegama Lake, Deer Lake, the Mississippi River, Bowstring Lake, and the Blandin Paper Mill Reservoir.
