2016 Map of Alborn

About this map

The Artichoke River system winds through this Saint Louis County landscape, defining the character of the settlements near Alborn and Coleraine Junction. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural network of the region, where township roads like TWP RD 5743 and TWP RD 5851 provide access to isolated wetlands and lakes such as Artichoke Lake and Schelin Lake. Local history is anchored by sites like Spruce Hill Cem and Industrial Cem, while the southern reaches of the map follow the Cloquet River past Burnett. The map records a series of small, dispersed communities including Culver, Arlberg, and Maney, each situated along the primary transportation corridors of HWY 8 and HWY 31.
