2022 Map of West Duluth

About this map

The Saint Louis River corridor serves as the primary geographical and industrial axis for this 2022 survey, illustrating the dense concentration of rail-oriented settlements south of Duluth. The map traces the river's winding path past Spirit Island and Clough Island, where the complex wetlands of Kilchlis Meadow meet the Minnesota and Wisconsin border. This landscape is defined by its industrial heritage, with neighborhoods like Morgan Park and Steelton positioned alongside the river's multiple channels. The presence of the Willard Munger State Trail and the Superior Hiking Trl indicates the repurposing of old transport corridors for modern recreation. Further inland, the plateau settlements of Proctor and Bayview overlook the river valley, while established grounds like Oneota Cem and Calvary Cem provide critical touchpoints for local genealogical research.
