About this map

Akeley sits at the southern edge of this Hubbard County landscape, serving as a gateway to a dense network of glacial lakes and forest corridors. The settlement is anchored by the Akeley Post Office and Akeley Campground, positioned near the expansive waters of Eleventh Crow Wing Lake. North of the town center, the terrain is defined by an intricate hydrology of smaller basins including Lake Alice, Lake Bess, and Big Bass Lake, many connected by the winding course of the Shingobee River.

Recreational infrastructure is prominent throughout the area, reflecting the region's mid-century and modern identity as a Northwoods destination. Notable sites include the Shingobee Ski Area and the Trailhead Picnic Area located along the Heartland Trl. The map also captures the transition from developed lakeside areas like Roger's on Red Lake Campground to more secluded water bodies such as Cramer Lake and Rickles Lake, providing a clear view of the road systems like Sautbine Rd NW that knit these remote timber and recreation lands together.
