2011 Map of North Twin Lake

About this map

Naytahwaush serves as the primary community in this lake-heavy portion of Mahnomen County, centered around the Naytahwaush Post Office and the southern shores of North Twin Lake. The geography is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and waterways, with the Wild Rice River winding across the northern landscape while Twin Creek meanders through the central and southern sections. Cultural and family history is anchored at the Indian Cemetery and Samuel Memorial Cemetery, both situated near the town site. The map details a transition from the structured residential roads of the settlement to more rural routes like Res Hwy 12 and County Hwy 122. Scattered throughout the wetlands are numerous named water bodies including Rice Lake, Peabody Lake, and Barney Lakes, reflecting the complex hydrology and environmental character of northwestern Minnesota.
