2019 Map of Alborn

About this map

Alborn and Coleraine Junction sit at the center of this 2019 survey, illustrating the persistence of small rail-aligned settlements in southern Saint Louis County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Artichoke River and the Cloquet River, which drain a complex network of wetlands and small lakes like Schelin Lake and Artichoke Lake. The mapping reveals a pattern of rural development focused along Co HWY 7 and HWY 8, connecting the hamlets of Culver and Burnett. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including Spruce Hill Cem near the northern edge and Culver Cem to the south. Further west, the map documents the smaller locales of Arlberg and Prosit, showing how the township grid and local roads like Alborn-Brookston Rd continue to organize this timber and wetland region.
