Grand Portage National Monument Wildland Fire Management Plan/Environmental Assessment, May 2004
Grand Portage National Monument is located in the northeastern corner of Minnesota within the Grand Portage Chippewa Reservation. The Monument was established in 1958 to preserve and protect an area with unique historical values associated with the fur trade and Native American heritage. All 710 acres of the Monument are designated as an historic district under its listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Significant sites within the Monument include the North West Company stockade area on Grand Portage Bay, the 8 1/2 mile trail corridor, and the Fort Charlotte area on the Pigeon River. Within all these sites, preservation of known and unidentified, surface and subsurface archeological resources is a primary management goal. The Monument and immediately adjacent Reservation lands are covered with trees typical of the near-boreal forest. Under natural conditions, wildland fires of varying size and intensity contributed to a mosaic of forest stands and maintained a dynamic ecosystem.
