About this map

Albany and the smaller settlement of Saint Anthony anchor this Central Minnesota landscape during the first decade of the 21st century. The map reveals a transition from traditional rail-corridor development to modern recreation, most notably with the Lake Wobegon Trl tracing the path of former railroad lines through the heart of the region. This conversion reflects a shift in the local economy, connecting the main town site near North Lake to the surrounding countryside.

Water and history are deeply intertwined here, with a series of glacial lakes including Two River Lake, Vos Lake, and Saint Anna Lake defining the rural character. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, such as Saint Johns Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, and Seven Dolors Cemetery near the Albany Post Office. The drainage of the land is meticulously documented through local infrastructure like County Ditch Number Twenty-two and the winding course of Krain Creek.
