2016 Map of Barnum

About this map

Barnum and Mahtowa serve as the primary hubs in this Carlton County landscape, where the meandering Moose Horn River and its various branches, including the W Fork Moose Horn River, dictate the local geography. The area is defined by a dense network of township and county roads that navigate a complex system of wetlands and small water bodies. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include Riverside Cem near the banks of the river in Barnum and Salem Cem further north. Recreational and natural features like Park Lake, Lake Twentynine, and Bear Lake are interspersed among the surveyed sections. Industrial and local transit routes, such as Industrial Rd in Mahtowa, highlight the small-town infrastructure that supports this region of Minnesota. The map also identifies specific water management areas like Ninefeldt Pool, illustrating the specialized hydrology of the upper Moose Horn drainage.
