About this map

Hanging Horn Lake and the surrounding glaciated landscape of the Minnesota Arrowhead region define this study of the borderlands between Carlton and Pine counties. The area is characterized by an intricate network of water bodies, including Little Hanging Horn Lake, Sturgeon Lake, and the numbered basins of Lake Eleven, Lake Twelve, and Lake Thirteen. The Moose Horn River and Portage River navigate the terrain, which is dotted with long-established recreational and community sites such as Camp Wanakiwin, Arrowhead Camp, and Wicklunds Campground.

Settlement patterns center on the communities of Barnum and Moose Lake, with several historical burial grounds providing genealogical reference points, such as Riverside Cem and the Methodist Cem. Infrastructure is represented by the Langhorst Dam and a grid of rural routes like Military Rd and Section Line Rd, reflecting the transition from early transit corridors to a modern landscape of lakefront residences and seasonal retreats.
