About this map

Elbow Lake and its surrounding wetlands form a complex aquatic landscape where Mahnomen, Becker, and Clearwater counties meet within the White Earth Indian Reservation. The settlement of Elbow Lake Village is a central hub for this lake-dotted region, situated near St Frances Cabrini Ch and a local Gravel Pit. Further west along the shores of Tulaby Lake, the Calvary Ch and a nearby Cem serve the local community.

Conservation and recreation define much of the territory, with the Little Elbow Lake State Park and Clearwater State Wildlife Management Area protecting large tracts of the glacial terrain. To the northeast, the Height of Land Lookout Tower sits atop the high ground near Scoop Lake, overseeing a dense network of water bodies including Bass Lake, Sawmill Lake, and Round Lake. This 1969 survey captures the area’s character as a preserved interior wilderness of Maple Grove and La Prairie Forest.
