2013 Map of Cromwell West

About this map

Cromwell and the smaller settlement of Wright anchor this portion of Carlton County, which is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and river systems. The Tamarack River and Little Tamarack River wind through a landscape dotted with significant water bodies like Eagle Lake, Black Lake, and Island Lake. This area reflects a mid-20th-century transition toward recreational and community infrastructure, evidenced by the Birch Bay Campground and Camp Lawrie. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Violet Cem to the west and Forest Hill Cem near the town center. The transportation corridor of MN-210 links these communities, while numerous family-named roads like Sjogren Rd and Risacher Dr hint at the rural residential patterns of the late 20th century.
