About this map

White Earth State Forest dominates this glacial landscape on the border of Mahnomen and Becker counties. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies, including Snider Lake, McCraney Lake, and the expansive South Twin Lake. These lakes are connected by a network of waterways such as Tulaby Creek and Gull Creek, reflecting a wilderness character shaped by the region's topography.

Evidence of human activity is found in small pockets, such as the Tulaby Lookout Tower and a Cemetery near the shore of Snider Lake. Public access is noted at Wayside Park along the central lakeshore, while natural divisions like La Garde and Oakland describe the wooded uplands. This 1960s survey documents the area before significant modern development, preserving the location of local Gravel Pits and the original footprint of the White Earth Indian Reservation.
