About this map

The Saint Louis River snakes through this portion of Saint Louis County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and meandering waterways. Near the northern reach of the river lies the small community of Elmer, a settlement concentrated near the intersection of Co Hwy-5 and Meadowlands Trunk Rd. The area’s spiritual and genealogical history is anchored by Saint Joseph Cem and Rose Hill Cem, both situated within reach of the river's eastern banks.

South of the main settlement, the hydrology becomes increasingly complex as Skunk Cr and the Whiteface River converge toward the Saint Louis. The road network, including family-named routes like Mcgonagle Rd and Figreaus Rd, follows the higher ground between these drainages. This survey captures a rural Minnesota landscape where the rhythm of the water dictates the placement of homes and connecting corridors like Co Hwy-133.
