2016 Map of Carmel

About this map

The small settlement of Carmel anchors this northern Minnesota landscape, characterized by a grid-like network of rural roads and expansive wetlands. Located in Beltrami County, the area is defined by its agricultural and forest management history, evidenced by the rectilinear property lines of the Public Land Survey System. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Sundberg Cem and Our Saviours Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for genealogists and local historians. The transport network consists primarily of gravel and paved roads named for local families and natural features, including Gunpowder Rd Nw, Hamre Rd Nw, and Grandy Corner Rd. This survey documents a quiet rural community where the landscape is structured by township and range boundaries such as t156n r37w.
