About this map

Mahkonce serves as a small population center on this landscape where the boundaries of Mahnomen and Clearwater counties meet. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the large central body of Roy Lake and its western counterpart, West Roy Lake. These waters feed a complex network of streams like Roy Lake Cr and Augunosh Cr, which thread through the rolling terrain. The presence of several distinct topographic markers such as Hogback Hill, Norris Hill, and Jack Pine Hill suggests the varied glacial moraine typical of this part of northern Minnesota.

Transportation through these wetlands is facilitated by a mix of established routes like Co RD 4 and Reservation HWY 15 RD, along with more local pathways like Norris TRL and Old Pavillion Cir. Smaller lakes including Horseshoe Lake, Skinaway Lake, and Tamarack Lake dot the township sections, providing a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and natural drainage systems existing in the late 2010s.
