About this map

Cushing sits at the heart of this Morrison County landscape, where the Little Elk River meanders through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The geography is defined by prominent water bodies like Lake Alexander and Fish Trap Lake, which feature numerous named landforms including Big Island, Tayors Island, and the distinctive Pickerel Bar. These lakes are connected by a web of local routes such as Ogema Point Dr and E Shamineau Dr, reflecting the area's development as a residential and recreational destination.

Local history is preserved in several community landmarks, including the Cushing Union Cem, Rosenlund Cem, and Scandia Valley Cem. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of Shamineau Lake and Crookneck Lake in the north, while the presence of Hines Farm Airport highlights the rural infrastructure. From the sheltered waters of Hohler Bay to the marshy reaches of Swamp Island, the document provides a detailed record of the township's varied terrain and mid-20th-century settlement patterns.
