2010 Map of Carmel

About this map

Carmel serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, where a rigid grid of rural roads defines the pattern of settlement and land use. The topography is subtle, marked primarily by the intersection of throughways like County Hwy 700 and Carmel Rd NW. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Our Saviours Cemetery and Sundberg Cemetery provides specific points of interest for family research in this Beltrami County township. The map reveals a transition into more wetland-prone areas to the north, indicated by the less dense road network and scattered drainage patterns beyond Benville Rd NW. The naming of the local roads, such as Gunpowder Rd NW and Settler Rd NW, evokes the character of the late 20th and early 21st-century rural expansion in this region.
