About this map

Jay Cooke State Park dominates the southern landscape, where the Saint Louis River carves a deep valley through the terrain near the state line between Minnesota and Wisconsin. This 2013 survey illustrates the transition from the rugged parkland and Oldenburg Point to the settled communities of Esko and Eldes Corner further north. Cultural heritage is anchored by sites such as the Finnish Apostolic Cem and Augustana Cem, while the historic Fond du Lac neighborhood of Duluth sits at the river's edge.

The map records the intersection of local industry and nature, with landmarks like the Short Line Park and the prominent Elys Peak providing topographic variety. Small settlements such as Harney and Brownell are interconnected by a network of rural roads including Old Highway 61, reflecting the long-standing transportation patterns that have shaped this portion of Carlton and Saint Louis counties.
