About this map

The Little Tamarack River and Tamarack River wind through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and wetlands in this northern Minnesota survey. The settlements of Wright and Cromwell serve as the primary hubs, connected by an east-west transit corridor that passes through the smaller community of Woodbury. This area of Carlton County maintains a dispersed rural character, with many roads named for early families, such as Oestreich Rd, Vodicka Rd, and Kalli Rd.

Genealogists will find several established burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cem near Cromwell and Violet Cem further west. The dense concentration of water bodies like Eagle Lake, Black Lake, and Island Lake suggests a region where the local economy and lifestyle are closely tied to the water. The grid of township roads, such as Twp Rd 1 and Twp Rd 137, provides a clear view of the underlying land division across the T49N and T48N ranges.
