2019 Map of Elmer

About this map

The confluence of the Whiteface River and the Saint Louis River anchors this northern landscape in Saint Louis County. The settlement of Elmer sits along the upper reaches of the Saint Louis River, where the terrain is defined by the extensive Toivola Swamp and a network of small tributaries like Skunk Cr and Spider Cr. The map reveals a rural infrastructure shaped by section lines and gravel roads, such as Elmer Rd and Church Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and community landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Joseph Cem near the riverbanks and Rose Hill Cem further west along Hwy 133. This 2019 survey documents the modern state of these river corridors and the enduring wetland environment that has historically influenced the settlement patterns of the region.
