About this map

Mahnomen serves as the focal point of this 1969 survey, situated at the intersection of the Soo Line railroad and local transport routes. The town’s social and civic fabric is visible through the County Fairgrounds, the Mahnomen County Country Club, and the localized Drive-in Theater. Genealogists will find several burial grounds including First Lutheran Cem, Riverside Cem, and St Michaels Cem.

The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding course of the Wild Rice River and its confluence with the White Earth River. Extensive wetlands and marshes, such as Rush Lake and the State Wildlife Management Area, dominate the eastern half of the quadrangle. The entire area is noted as lying within the White Earth Indian Reservation, with the map further delineating townships like Marsh Creek, Chief, Pembina, and Rosedale.
