2013 Map of Barnum

About this map

Barnum serves as a local hub in Carlton County, situated where the Moose Horn River and several of its tributaries converge. This 2013 topographic survey captures the settlement patterns of the region, anchored by the municipal core of Barnum and the smaller community of Mahtowa to the northeast. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring numerous water bodies such as Park Lake, Lake Twentynine, and the secluded Ninefeldt Pool. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies significant land use markers including Salem Cem and Riverside Cem, alongside recreation sites like the Barnum City Park Campground. The intricate network of local roads, such as Old Highway 61 and various township routes, provides a clear view of how these northern Minnesota communities are interconnected across the varied terrain.
