2016 Map of French Lake

About this map

French Lake and the small settlements of West Albion and Knapp anchor this Wright County landscape, characterized by the winding path of the North Fork Crow River. The river cuts a slow course through the southern half of the quadrangle, while the northern reaches are dominated by glacial water bodies, including Dans Lake, E Lake Sylvia, and the prominent Lake Sylvia Peninsula. The density of community landmarks suggests a long-established rural network, particularly evident in the high concentration of cemeteries such as Saint Ignatius Cem, Our Savior Cem, and Crow River Cem. These sites, often paired with country churches, provide a clear record of local genealogy and the early social centers of the township. A robust grid of county roads, including Co Hwy 38 and Co Rd 37 NW, connects these scattered settlements across the undulating terrain between Moose Lake and Mud Lake.
