2019 Map of Wright

About this map

Wright and Tamarack anchor this 2019 survey of the marshy landscape straddling the border of Aitkin and Carlton Counties. The region is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small glacial lakes, including Cole Lake, Tamarack Lake, and Walli Lake. The Tamarack River and Little Tamarack River meander through the northern and central sections, providing a glimpse into the drainage patterns of this peatland-rich environment. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites concentrated near the settlement of Wright, such as the Wright Community Cem, Wright Catholic Cem, and Lakeview Cem, alongside the more isolated Lakeside Cem further west. The landscape is interconnected by a grid of rural routes like N Finn Rd and Mattila Rd, reflecting the scattered agricultural and residential homesteads that have persisted in this north-central Minnesota terrain.
