About this map

Alborn and Coleraine Junction serve as the primary crossroads in this portion of St. Louis County, where the historic Alborn-Pengilly Railroad Trail follows the corridor of a former rail line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Artichoke River and the Cloquet River, which flow through a region punctuated by numerous wetlands and small glacial lakes like Artichoke Lake and Schelin Lake.

Several small settlements, including Arlberg, Culver, and Burnett, are connected by a network of county roads such as Co Hwy 7 and Hwy 8. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies localized burial grounds including Spruce Hill Cem, Indian Hill Cem, and the Industrial Cem. These features, along with the scattered hamlets of Prosit and Maney, provide a clear picture of rural settlement patterns in northern Minnesota during the early 21st century.
