2011 Map of Beaulieu

About this map

The settlement of Beaulieu serves as a central landmark in this portion of Mahnomen County, where the meandering course of the Wild Rice River cuts through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and stream drainage. Genealogy and local history are anchored by Saint Joseph's Catholic Cemetery near the town center and another Saint Joseph's Cemetery located further south near Church Lake. The terrain is dominated by water, from the larger basins of Sandy Lake and Fish Lake to the north-running Whiskey Creek. This 2011 survey captures the established road network, including County HWY-3 and County HWY-32, which connect the rural homesteads and shorelines that characterize this region of the White Earth Reservation. The distribution of lakes like Aspinwall Lake and Chief Lake illustrates the intricate hydrology that has influenced settlement patterns and land use for generations.
