2013 Map of Atkinson

About this map

The Blackhoof River and Moose Horn River wind through this part of Carlton County, defining a landscape punctuated by numerous glacial lakes and small settlements. Atkinson serves as a primary point of reference in the north, while the smaller locale of Duesler is situated further south. The area is characterized by its recreational and spiritual landmarks, including the Bent Trout Lake Campground near Benfield Lake and several historic burial grounds such as Elim Lutheran Cem, Sandy Lake Cem, and Bethel Cem. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern road network, where local routes like Co Hwy-61 and Pioneer Rd connect scattered residences with natural features like Crystal Lake, Flodin Lake, and Hizer Lake. The mapping of these waterways and secondary roads provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and drainage systems in the region before further modern development.
