About this map

Wrenshall sits at the northwestern edge of this landscape, where the plateaus of Carlton County begin their descent toward the Superior basin. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where the Nemadji River and its numerous tributaries, including the South Fork Nemadji River and Net River, carve through the glacial till. This 2016 survey captures a rural environment structured by its hydrology and a section-line road grid, featuring the small settlement of Frogner near the center of the sheet.

Local history is etched into the landscape via family-named routes like Ableiter Rd, Hansen Rd, and Hilpiper Rd. The border between Minnesota and Wisconsin runs vertically through the eastern half, following the divide between Carlton and Douglas counties. Notable landmarks such as Cemetery Rd provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early twentieth-century roots in this borderland region.
