About this map

The Fond Du Lac State Forest dominates the landscape of Carlton County in this early 1980s survey, illustrating a region defined by extensive wetlands, wildlife management areas, and small rural settlements. The village of Cromwell and the community of Corona are linked by the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels the main highway corridor across the center of the sheet. Numerous family-named roads, such as Markusen Road, Dahl Road, and Krogh Road, branch out from the town center toward the surrounding timber and marshlands.

Water systems are central to the area's layout, with the Kettle River winding through the southern portion and feeding into Kettle Lake. The topography is marked by several state-managed conservation zones, including the Sawyer State Wildlife Management Area and the Mervin State Wildlife Management Area. Notable landmarks for local researchers include the Cromwell Lookout Tower and several gravel pits that point to the local extractive economy of the era.
