About this map

The Pine River meanders through this portion of Crow Wing County, connecting a dense network of glacial basins and wetlands that characterize the north-central Minnesota landscape. The area is defined by its recreation-centric layout, with settlements like Fifty Lakes, Manhattan Beach, and Crosslake situated among large water bodies such as West Fox Lake and East Fox Lake. These lakes are often joined by narrow channels, notably at The Narrows, illustrating how the waterway system dictated the development of local transport and property lines.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by landmarks like Pinewood Cem near the southern boundary. The map shows a complex shoreline of points and islands, including Cook Point, Black Point, and Berg Island, alongside specialized terrain features like The Needles and Bailey Bog. The concentration of named roads, from Boy Scout RD to Wilderness TRL, reflects the transition of this timber and lake country into a permanent residential and seasonal community.
