It lies 87.4 miles north-northeast of Bemidji, MN (from Bemidji, MN: bearing 24°T), and is situated 31.6 miles west of International Falls.

The local economy persists through a measured pace, anchored by the cycles of the earth and the enduring presence of the timber and agriculture that have long defined the region.
