About this map

Naytahwaush sits at the center of this 1960s landscape, serving as a primary settlement within the White Earth Indian Reservation. The village is anchored by the Samuel Memorial Cem and an Indian Cem, providing a detailed look at the community's layout before later modern developments. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex glacial aquatic system, where the Wild Rice River and Schimmelhorn Creek wind through a dense network of lakes and marshes, including Long Lake and Swanson Lake.

The presence of the North Twin Lake and the smaller Little Rice Lake illustrates the region's reliance on water resources for both subsistence and recreation, noted by the Roadside Park and Picnic Area. The township boundaries of Beaulieu, Clover, and Lagarde intersect here, showing the administrative division of this wetland-rich portion of Mahnomen County. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit and a Nursing Home, reflecting the localized infrastructure of the era.
