About this map

The settlement of Cotton serves as a central hub in this portion of Saint Louis County, marked by the presence of the Cotton Post Office along the main transit corridor. This landscape is defined by the complex drainage patterns of the Paleface River and Whiteface River, which wind through a mosaic of glacial lakes and wetlands. Small residential clusters like Melrude and Central Lakes are situated near these water bodies, reflecting a pattern of lakeside living and rural infrastructure.

Genealogists will find historical value in the presence of Riverview Cemetery and Lakeview Cemetery, which anchor the local community history. Notable landmarks include the Stephen Slimak Wildlife Pond Dam, which manages the local hydrology near Golden Pond. The area is further characterized by numerous named lakes such as Dinham Lake, Kauppi Lake, and Strand Lake, which likely influenced the placement of local roads like Kauppi Lake Rd and Dinham Rd.
