About this map

Barnum and the northern reaches of Moose Lake anchor this 2019 survey of the lake-dotted corridor between Carlton and Pine Counties. The landscape is defined by its dense concentration of glacial water bodies, from the prominent Hanging Horn Lake and Sturgeon Lake to smaller, clustered basins like Lake Eleven and Lake Twelve. These waters are connected by the winding paths of the Moose Horn River and the Portage River, which navigate a complex wetland environment.

Evidence of the region's historical infrastructure is found in the Soo Line Trl, following the path of the old Soo Line railroad. This transportation corridor served as the backbone for early settlement, as seen in the proximity of the Sunset Memorial Cem and Methodist Cem. The transition from industrial rail to recreational trail reflects the modern character of this lake country, where family-named roads like Kolosky Rd and Erickson Rd lead to seasonal homes and local landmarks.
