2022 Map of Elmer

About this map

Elmer sits at the intersection of the St. Louis River and the historical rail corridor now designated as the Alborn-Pengilly Railroad Trail. This corner of St. Louis County is defined by the vast wetlands of the Toivola Swamp, which covers much of the western portion of the map. The landscape reflects a transition from early 20th-century transportation to modern conservation, where the former rail line that once served the iron range or timber industry now serves as a recreational trail. Local genealogy and history are preserved at the Saint Joseph's Cem and Rose Hill Cem, both situated near the river's winding path. In the south, the confluence of the Whiteface River and Spider Cr adds to the complex hydrology of this low-lying region.
