1982 Map of Cromwell West

About this map

The Tamarack River winds through the wetlands and glacial lakes of Carlton County, defining the rural character of this northern landscape. The village of Wright sits near the western edge of the quadrangle, while Cromwell anchors the eastern side, both connected by the Northern Burlington railroad line. The map highlights a deeply traditional rural infrastructure, evidenced by numerous gravel pits and well-established family-named routes such as Lundin Rd and Oestreich Road. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Violet Cem and Forest Hill Cem near the town sites, and the more remote Eagle Lake Cem further south. The presence of several Winter Trails underscores the seasonal nature of transit and resource management in this region during the early 1980s.
