1970 Map of Wright
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Wright sits at the junction of State Highway 210 and the Burlington Northern railroad, serving as a focal point for the surrounding wetlands and forests of eastern Minnesota. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water bodies and marshlands, including Cole Lake, Mattila Lake, and the winding Tamarack River. To the west, the Savanna State Forest covers a significant portion of the terrain, while the Aitkin and Carlton County line bisects the wilderness. The map reveals the local importance of naming even small features, with many lakes bearing family-derived names such as Louma Lake and Walli Lake. Public landmarks like the Lakeside Cem near Kettle Lake and a Picnic Area on the northern shore of Cole Lake provide evidence of the area's community structure amidst the extensive glacial topography.
