About this map

Lake Alexander and Fish Trap Lake dominate the northern landscape of this Morrison County region, where a complex network of glacial lakes and islands defines the local geography. The settlement of Cushing sits along Us 10 near the southern edge, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural area. Significant landmarks like the Scandia Valley Town Hall and Hines Farm Airport indicate the community infrastructure that supports both permanent residents and the seasonal visitors drawn to the extensive lakefronts.

Water-bound features such as Soldiers Island, Duck Nest Island, and Green Island suggest a long history of recreational and residential use. Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-placed burial grounds, including Scandia Valley Cem, Cushing Union Cem, and Rosenlund Cem, scattered across the township. The presence of the Fishtrap Lake Campground and Cushing Landing further emphasizes the enduring relationship between the community and its aquatic surroundings.
