About this map

The Mustinka River winds through this Grant County landscape, defining the local hydrology as it flows past a network of glacial basins and sloughs. The area is characterized by its numerous water bodies, including Trisko Lake, Hodgson Lake, and Moses Lake, which are interspersed with a rigid grid of rural transport routes such as County Hwy-1 and Twp Hwy 55.

For those researching family history in the region, the West Elbow Lake Lutheran Cemetery stands as a central landmark in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the agricultural and lacustrine character of the territory, showing how local townships have organized around natural features like Bailey Slough and the Mustinka Flowage. The intersection of drainage patterns and maintained township roads reflects the late-twentieth-century development of this rural Minnesota prairie.
