2022 Map of Barnum

About this map

The Moose Horn River and its various branches, including the W Fork Moose Horn River, define the hydrologic character of this Carlton County landscape. The settlement of Barnum serves as a primary hub in the south, while Mahtowa sits to the northeast, both connected by a network of rural routes such as Co Rd 61 and Co Hwy 7. A significant historical and recreational corridor, the Willard Munger State Trail—specifically the Hinckley-Duluth Fire Segment Trl—traces a path through the center of the quadrangle, following a legacy rail alignment. To the north, Park Lake and its outlet Park Lake Cr break up the dense system of wetlands and small drainages like King Cr and Fong Cr. Near the intersection of several township roads lies the Salem Cem, a point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the region.
