The Elk River rises in northern Benton County, Minnesota and initially flows generally southward. In Sherburne County the river turns southeastward, paralleling the Mississippi River for the remainder of its course, past the communities of Becker and Big Lake.〔DeLorme (1994). ''Minnesota Atlas & Gazetteer''. Yarmouth, Maine: DeLorme. ISBN 0-89933-222-6〕 In his 1843 map of the Upper Mississippi, Joseph Nicollet recorded this river as "Kabitawi R()", reflecting ''Gaa-biitawi-ziibi'' ("the parallelling river") in the Ojibwe) due to this parallel course with the Mississippi.〔Nicollet, Joseph N.
