2022 Map of Akeley

About this map

Akeley stands at the southern edge of this Minnesota landscape, serving as a gateway to the dense woodlands of the Chippewa National Forest. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and river systems, most notably the Eleventh Crow Wing Lake and the Shingobee River which flows through Shingobee Lake. The map reveals a complex intersection of modern recreation and old forest infrastructure, where the Heartland State Trl and the North Country National Scenic Trl cross paths with numerous forest roads like Kabekona Forest Rd and Blue Trl. These trails follow the contours of a terrain shaped by water, connecting smaller bodies like Lake Alice and Little Bass Lake. The layout of Akeley itself is visible along the Heartland State Trl, showing the street grid including Broadway St W and Carroll St SE.
