2010 Map of Atkinson

About this map

Atkinson and the surrounding Carlton County landscape are defined by a dense network of water bodies and rural transit corridors. The Blackhoof River and Moose Horn River wind through the terrain, punctuated by numerous glacial lakes such as Sandy Lake, Blackhoof Lake, and Munson Lake. This survey captures the region as a recreational and transit hub, featuring the Bent Trout Lake Campground and the Culkin North Bound Rest Area. Genealogists will find significant local history in the presence of Bethel Cemetery, Sandy Lake Cemetery, and Elim Lutheran Cemetery near the settlement of Duesler. The map also traces the Willard Munger Trl, reflecting the repurposing of old rail corridors for modern use, while the Hanson Dam in the southeast corner indicates water management along the local drainage basins.
