About this map

Leonard Cemetery serves as a quiet landmark in this sparsely populated region of Carlton County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Kettle River and its various tributaries. The local geography is etched with the drainage patterns of Gillespie Brook and the West Fork Moose Horn River, which cross a network of secondary roads and county highways.

Insight into the settlement history of the township is found in the naming of the rural road network. Family names are preserved in thoroughfares such as Heiskari Rd, Minkkinen Rd, Keinanen Rd, and Reuben Johnson Rd, suggesting a lineage of Scandinavian homesteads and landholders who cleared this part of the Minnesota woods. The grid of highways, including County Hwy-4 and County Hwy-6, provides the primary structure for this rural landscape at the start of the 21st century.
