About this map

West Elbow Lake Ch stands as a focal point for this rural landscape in western Minnesota, located near the township boundaries of Elbow Lake, Sanford, and Delaware. The area is defined by its glaciated topography, featuring numerous basins and wetlands including Trisko Lake, Huset Lake, and Hodgson Lake. The Mustinka River winds through the central and southern portions of the map, feeding into the Mustinka Flowage and Bailey Slough.

Transport and land use patterns reflect the region's agricultural and conservation focus during the early 1970s. The Soo Line railroad cuts across the northeastern corner, providing a vital connection for the grain-producing prairies. A significant portion of the terrain is dedicated to habitat preservation, evidenced by the Mustinka State Wildlife Management Area and various sections of the National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the importance of the Central Flyway to this corner of Grant County.
