2019 Map of North Twin Lake

About this map

Naytahwaush and the surrounding Mahnomen County lake country are defined by a complex mosaic of wetlands and small glacial basins. The settlement of Naytahwaush is positioned near the shores of North Twin Lake and Rice Lake, where Resvn HWY 7 and Resvn HWY 70 converge. This area is characterized by its numerous named water bodies, including Swanson Lake, Island Lake, and the meandering path of the Wild Rice River in the north. The presence of the Samuel Memorial Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians documenting the community's heritage. To the west and north, the landscape is dotted with smaller features such as The Ranch and various creeks like Schimmelhorn Cr and Twin Cr, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the larger lake systems. This 2019 survey documents the contemporary road network, from Bia RD 12 to remote township tracks, alongside the enduring natural geography of the region.
