About this map

Menahga serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, situated along the Burlington Northern line and bounded by the waters of Spirit Lake and Blueberry Lake. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways where the Straight River and Shell River drain through numerous glacial basins. Near the settlement of Hubbard, the map identifies the Pine Haven Ch and a Campground, illustrating the region's development as a destination for recreation and community life.

Northward at Horton, the presence of a Fish Hatchery and a Gravel Pit indicates a localized economy tied to natural resource management and infrastructure. The transition from the Straight River to the larger Long Lake in the northeast corner highlights the hydrological complexity of the Hubbard and Wadena County line, offering a detailed view of the terrain before later modern developments altered the local character.
