2013 Map of Albion Center

About this map

Maple Lake and the agricultural lands of western Wright County are defined by a dense network of glacial basins and early rural community sites. The small settlement of Albion Center sits at a crossroads south of Albion Lake, serving as a central point for the surrounding farmsteads. To the south, the village of Albright is situated near the winding course of the North Fork Crow River, which provides the primary drainage for this lake-heavy terrain. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including Alamaa Cem, Mt Herman Cem, Evangelical Cem, and Sylvan Cem, documenting the area's pioneer heritage. Large water bodies such as Cedar Lake, Swartout Lake, and Granite Lake dominate the northern and western sections, while the prominent Breezy Hills rise above the wetlands. This landscape illustrates a 21st-century view of a region where modern transportation routes like MN-55 intersect with deep-rooted community landmarks.
