About this map

Elbow Lake Village serves as the primary settlement in this lake-heavy corner of northwestern Minnesota, where the borders of Mahnomen, Clearwater, and Becker counties converge. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial basins, including the large expanses of Tulaby Lake and Elbow Lake, which are interconnected by smaller water bodies like Little Elbow Lake and Sawmill Lake. To the north, Strawberry Mtn rises above the timbered lake country, providing a topographic anchor near the Mahnomen and Clearwater county line.

A network of local roads and trails, such as Stump Lake Rd and Woodtic Trl, provides access to these waterfronts, suggesting a landscape shaped by seasonal recreation and lakeside residential development. The map also traces Little Elbow Cr and Bear Cr, detailing the drainage patterns that connect these numerous basins, while features like Pike Lake and Wilson Lake illustrate the cluster of smaller interior waters found in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
