About this map

Naytahwaush serves as the primary community hub in this lake-rich portion of Mahnomen County, situated along the northeastern shore of N Twin Lake. The settlement is anchored by a local Po and the Samuel Memorial Cem, reflecting its role as a residential and spiritual center for the area. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water bodies and glacial depressions, ranging from the larger Rice Lake and Fairbanks Lake to smaller named features like Woodchuck Lake and Lizzard Lake.

Hydrological patterns are shaped by the Wild Rice River, which winds through the northern portion of the map, and several smaller tributaries including Schimmelhorn Cr and Twin Cr. Access to these wetlands and woods is provided by a grid of rural routes such as MN-200 and various reservation highways, including Res HWY 12 and Res HWY 7. The distribution of lakes like Swanson Lake and Long Lake suggests a landscape largely shaped by post-glacial topography, supporting local recreation and natural habitats.
