1972 Map of Akeley
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Akeley and the neighboring settlement of Steamboat are centered within a landscape of dense woodlands and glacial kettle lakes in the early 1970s. This orthophotomap combines aerial photography with topographic data to show the intricate shoreline of Eleventh Crow Wing Lake and the recreational development at the Shingobee Ski Area. The heavy timber of the Paul Bunyan State Forest and Chippewa National Forest dominates the terrain, broken only by numerous water bodies like Cedar Lake, Lake Alice, and Ten Lake. Transportation is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle near the Hubbard and Cass County line, reflecting the region's historical reliance on rail for the timber industry.
