About this map

Beaulieu Lake and a dense network of glacial wetlands define this section of the Minnesota landscape along the border of Mahnomen County. The area is characterized by an intricate water system, with Marsh Creek winding through the northern sections while larger bodies like Vanose Lake and Aspinwall Lake anchor the southern townships. The road network follows a strict section-line grid, including thoroughfares such as County State Aid Highway 2 and County Road 1, which facilitate travel between the scattered homesteads and water bodies.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the presence of North Duane Cemetery and Duane Cemetery in the eastern half of the quadrangle. These sites, along with smaller lakes like Frethem Lake and Warren Lake, provide specific points of reference for families tracing their roots in this prairie-pothole region. The terrain is marked by numerous small, unnamed wetlands and ponds, illustrating the complex hydrography of the northwestern Minnesota interior.
