About this map

Barnum occupies the northern edge of this Carlton County survey, where the Moose Horn River flows past the Riverside Cemetery. The landscape is defined by its deep glacial lakes and the legacy of rail transport, with the Soo Line Trl and the Willard Munger Trl tracing former railroad corridors across the terrain. These routes link a series of recreational camps and waterfronts, including Camp Wanakiwin on the shores of Hanging Horn Lake and the Moose Lake Camp further south.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as the Sunset Memorial Cemetery near Eddy Lake and the Methodist Cemetery to the southwest. The hydrography of the region is complex, featuring interconnected systems like Little Hanging Horn Lake and the Portage River, which once served as vital travel routes. Landmarks like the Langhorst Dam illustrate the local management of these water resources within the surrounding wetlands and forests.
