1960 Map of Cross Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The labyrinthine waters of the Crow Wing State Forest dominate this mid-century topographic record, where the interconnected basins of Cross Lake, Little Pine Lake, and Daggett Lake form a complex aquatic network. This survey reflects a period of established lakeside settlement and recreation in Crow Wing County, evidenced by the clustered village boundaries of Fifty Lakes, Emily, and Manhattan Beach. The landscape is a mix of wooded glacial terrain and boggy depressions like Bailey Bog, punctuated by essential community landmarks such as the Cross Lake Sch and Pinewood Cem. Cultural features of the era are clearly visible, including a Drive-in Theater near the western shore and the Gaging Station monitoring the Pine River flow. Depth curves across major water bodies like West Fox Lake and East Fox Lake provide a rare look at the underwater topography as recorded by the Minnesota Department of Conservation.
