2019 Map of Brookston

About this map

The confluence of the Saint Louis River and the Cloquet River defines this northern landscape, where the settlement of Brookston sits near the river bend. This 2019 survey documents the rural character and water-rich terrain of southern St. Louis County and northern Carlton County. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like Birch Lake Cem on the county line and Brevator Cem near Mahnomen. The mapping shows a network of township and county roads, such as Co Hwy 80 and Twin Lakes Dr, which serve dispersed homesteads and the southern reaches of Cloquet. Significant wetlands surround Twin Lakes and Simian Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Fond du Lac region. Small waterways like Martin Br and Stoney Brook weave through the timbered sections, reflecting the enduring geography of this river-valley junction.
