About this map

The Shell River meanders across this northern Minnesota landscape, marking a terrain defined by glacial lakes and tributary networks where Becker, Hubbard, and Wadena counties converge. The hydrology of the region is notably dense, featuring bodies such as Blueberry Lake, Little Round Lake, and Little Long Lake, while the Blueberry River and Kettle River cut through the lower sections of the survey area.

For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks offer points of interest for tracing family ties and rural development. The Green Valley Cem is situated centrally along the Hubbard and Wadena county line, while further south near the river bends lies the Alajoki Cem. The road network, including routes like Knutson Lake Rd and Happy Hour Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the persistent grid-based settlement pattern of the Minnesota parklands.
