About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands dominate this landscape in central Wright County, where the Soo Line railroad connects the growing community of Maple Lake to the wider region. The map captures a detailed view of rural life centered around small crossroads like Albion Center and Albright, with numerous country cemeteries and small churches, such as Mt Hermon Ch and Bethlehem Ch, serving the surrounding farmsteads.

The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Crow River, which flows past several gravel pits and the Bill Anderson Mem County Park. Significant tracts of land are dedicated to conservation, including the Albion State Wildlife Management Area and the Swartout State Wildlife Management Area, preserving the natural character of the lake country around Swartout Lake and Albion Lake.
