2022 Map of French Lake

About this map

French Lake and the winding course of the North Fork Crow River anchor this rural Wright County landscape. The area is defined by a dense concentration of cemeteries and local landmarks, suggesting a deeply rooted community history across the townships of French Lake and West Albion. In the northern section, the waters of East Lake Sylvia and the Lake Sylvia Peninsula mark the transition toward Annandale. Further south, the map documents the smaller settlements of Knapp and West Albion, connected by a grid of county roads such as County Highway 38 and County Road 5 NW. Numerous family-named or denominational burial grounds, including Immanuel Cem, Saint Ignatius Cem, and National Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside, providing significant markers for genealogical research in this part of Minnesota.
