History:
Erick Martenson Homestead - 1905 Lake Jessie Township has a lake of this name
and another called Little Jessie Lake, probably either for the
daughter of surveyor Taylor, who was in the area, or for timber
cruiser Jessie Harry, who died in Grand Rapids in 1955. A station of
the Minneapolis and Rainy River Railway was in section 24; the post
office was called Jesse Lake, 1909-54, with Peter Peterson, first
postmaster. The Minneapolis and Rainy River Railway was built through
in 1905 and discontinued in 1930.

Jessie Lake Watershed Association
The Jessie Lake Watershed is located in
northwestern Itasca County, and encompasses ten lakes and four
tributary streams, and is located entirely in the Chippewa
National Forest. The Jessie Lake Watershed Association includes
representatives from all four of the major lakes in the
watershed, Jessie, Peterson, Spring and Little Spring lakes.
They are part of the Sand Lake Chain, and their waters feed
Bowstring Lake via the Bowstring River and eventually travel
north to the Rainy River Watershed through the Bigfork River,
ultimately reaching Hudson's Bay. Jessie Lake, the largest in
the Watershed, is the eighteenth largest of the 950 lakes in
Itasca County. Because of the aesthetic beauty of the lake and
its surrounding area, as well as its status as a premier walleye
fishery, Jessie Lake is the recreational destination of hundreds
of visitors and area residents throughout the year. It is ranked
15th (of 150) on the Itasca County Plan's priority list - a list
of lakes that "provide the highest recreation potential in
regards to fishing, boating, etc. and also have a greater
potential for development." It also made "Minnesota's Top 100
Walleye Lakes List" published by the Hunting and Fishing
Library. |
