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. |
