2019 Map of Barnum

About this map

Barnum and Mahtowa anchor this study of the Carlton County landscape, where the drainage of the Moose Horn River and its tributaries defines the local topography. The map illustrates a developed network of township and county roads, such as Co Rd 61 and Town Rd 279, that connect these small settlements to the surrounding wetlands and timbered sections. In the northern reaches, Park Lake serves as a primary water feature, fed by Park Lake Cr, while Lake Twentynine sits to the southeast near the edge of the survey area. Cultural landmarks including Salem Cem and Riverside Cem offer important touchpoints for those tracing local family history in these rural townships. The presence of Industrial Rd near Mahtowa points to the area's continued role in regional transport and commerce along the rail corridor.
