2013 Map of Moose Lake

About this map

Moose Lake and Sturgeon Lake anchor a landscape defined by its network of water and timber in the early twenty-first century. This part of Eastern Minnesota is characterized by the Moose Horn River and Kettle River drainage systems, where small settlements like Kettle River and Hillside Terrace Homes provide residential pockets amidst the wetlands and woods. The map reveals a dense concentration of community landmarks, including several rural burial grounds such as Riverside Cem and Saint Isadors Cem. The area serves as a notable recreational and transportation hub, featuring the Moose Lake Carlton County Airport and diverse lodgings ranging from Ray and Marges Resort and Campground to the YMCA Camp. Local infrastructure is marked by forestry and fire management history, evidenced by the Moose Lake Lookout Tower, while the boundary between Carlton Co and Pine Co bisects the southern lakes.
