About this map

Glacial lakes and rural farmsteads define this portion of Wright County, where Albion Center serves as a central point for the surrounding agricultural community. The landscape is densely pockmarked by water bodies of various sizes, including the significant Albion Lake, Swartout Lake, and Henshaw Lake. To the north, the growing community of Maple Lake is visible, established along the transit corridor of Highway 55.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey is particularly valuable for its density of burial sites and family landmarks. Numerous cemeteries are scattered throughout the townships, such as Alamaa Cem, Mount Herman Cem, and Sylvan Cem, documenting the early settlement patterns of this lake-rich region. The southern edge is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Crow River, while the small settlement of Albright and landmarks like Camp Lake further illustrate the area's mix of industry, recreation, and rural life in the mid-2010s.
