About this map

Lake Alexander dominates this landscape of the Upper Midwest, surrounded by a complex network of bays, points, and islands. To its north and west, Fish Trap Lake, Shamineau Lake, and Crookneck Lake form a dense cluster of glacial water bodies, each with distinct features like Preachers Point and Tayors Island. The settlement of Cushing serves as the local hub in the southern portion of the map, situated near the Little Elk River and the Cushing Union Cem.

Genealogists and local historians can find several key burial sites including the Scandia Valley Cem and Roseland Cem. The inclusion of Hines Farm Airport and a grid of local roads like Scandia Forest Trl and Eagle View Trl shows the modern evolution of this rural Morrison County community. This geography is defined by its transition between open water and the low-lying, often marshy terrain of The Flats and Swamp Island.
