2019 Map of Moose Lake

About this map

Moose Lake and the northern reaches of Sturgeon Lake anchor this 2019 survey, where the glacial landscape of Carlton and Pine counties is defined by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands. The community of Moose Lake serves as a central hub, situated along the shores of Moosehead Lake and the winding Moose Horn River. Just to the west, the Moose Lake Carlton County Airport sits near the crossing of an Abandoned RR, hinting at the region's transition from a rail-dependent timber and transport corridor to one focused on recreational trails like the Soo Line Trl. Genealogists will find significant local records preserved across several burial sites, including Riverside Cem, Blomskog Cem, and the parish grounds of Saint Isidores Cem. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Kettle River drainage and the protected lands of the State Wildlife Area, illustrating the persistent wild character of this north-central Minnesota terrain.
