About this map

Cloquet serves as a major industrial and transit hub along the St Louis River in the mid-1950s, defined by its complex network of rail lines including the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, and Duluth and Northeastern. The city center is dense with civic infrastructure, notably the High Sch, Jefferson Sch, and specialized facilities like Fond du Lac Hospital and Eppard Hospital.

Southward, the landscape shifts into the townships of Knife Falls and Thomson, where the river is harnessed by the Thomson Reservoir and protected within Thomson State Park. Local industry is evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and an Oil Refinery near Wrenshall. This survey captures the transition from the developed streets of Scanlon and Carlton to the rural expanses of Twin Lakes, marked by family-oriented landmarks like Maple Grove Cem and Hillside Cem.
