About this map

The settlement of White Earth serves as a central point in this northern Minnesota landscape, where the geography is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable sites, including Saint Columba's Episcopal Mission Cem and Calvary Cem, reflecting the early community's spiritual and social foundations. To the south, the smaller settlement of Fairbanks sits near Fairbanks Lake, while the topography rises at Suicide Hill near the southern boundary.

Water dominates the region, with significant bodies such as White Earth Lake, Net Lake, and Spirit Lake interspersed with smaller features like Trading Post Lake and O-Me-Mee Lake. The road network, including Resvn Hwy 1 and Co Rd 34, connects these remote reaches, tracing the paths between numerous lakes like Mission Lake and Big Sugar Bush Lake. This map provides a detailed view of the area's transition into the modern era, preserving the locations of the Aura Cem and numerous named rural routes.
