2022 Map of Albion Center

About this map

Annandale and Maple Lake anchor the northern reaches of this Wright County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense cluster of glacial water bodies and the winding course of the North Fork Crow River. The area around Albion Lake and Swartout Lake reflects a long-established rural layout, with a grid of local roads like Co RD 7 NW and Keats Ave NW connecting scattered homesteads and small settlements. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies numerous local burial grounds including Albion Cem, Mount Herman Cem, and Alamaa Cem. The transition from the lake-dotted highlands near Mount Herman down to the river bottoms at Albright illustrates the complex hydrology of central Minnesota, where lakes like Granite Lake, Mary Lake, and Mains Lake are interspersed with low-lying wetlands.
