About this map

The Saint Louis River snakes through the heart of this Carlton County corridor, defining the industrial and geographic character of Cloquet and its neighboring mill towns. The river's power is harnessed at the Thomson Reservoir, where the settlement of Thomson sits near the rocky descent of the water. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape deeply connected to its educational and indigenous roots, featuring the Fond du Lac Tribal and Community Coll situated near the center of the quadrangle.

From the residential grids of Scanlon to the rural stretches of Esko and Wrenshall, the map is a detailed record of local heritage. Numerous burial grounds, including Hillside Cem and the adjacent Saint Francis Cem, serve as critical points for genealogical research. The northern reaches show the split of the river around Dunlap Island, while the southern portion transitions into the wetlands surrounding Chub Lake and Little Otter Cr.
