2016 Map of Hanging Horn Lake

About this map

The Moose Horn River and the Portage River define the lakeland landscape of eastern Minnesota on the border of Carlton and Pine counties. In the north, the town of Barnum serves as a hub near Hanging Horn Lake and Little Hanging Horn Lake, while the Soo Line Trl marks a former railroad corridor now adapted for contemporary use. Genealogists and local historians will find the Sunset Memorial Cem near the river and the Methodist Cem to the south. This area is defined by its numerous glacial lakes, including the large Moose Lake and Sturgeon Lake, which features Sturgeon Island. The geography reveals a transition between established water-side settlements and the numbered lake systems like Lake Eleven, Lake Twelve, and Lake Thirteen to the south.
