About this map

The city of Albert Lea sits at a critical rail junction where several major lines converge, including the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Illinois Central. This mid-century landscape is defined by its extensive water bodies, from Fountain Lake at the city center to the sprawling Albert Lea Lake and its surrounding Myre State Park. The surrounding townships like Bancroft and Freeborn County are densely dotted with rural schoolhouses and churches that served a robust agricultural community, such as Lerdal Sch and Central Ch.
