Maybe I'm missing something, but the US is so incredibly vast, I can't understand why you don't have place for a least a few beavers.

According to Wikipedia, there are quite a few beavers in North America, but not as many as there used to be:

>"Protections have allowed the beaver population on the continent to rebound to an estimated 6–12 million by the late 20th century; this is a fraction of the originally estimated 60–400 million North American beavers before the days of the fur trade."

There are plenty of beavers in northern Minnesota, particularly in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness along the Canadian border.
