1996 Map of Crystal Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Akeley and Chamberlain sit at the center of a complex glacial landscape defined by its overlapping forest reserves and numerous kettle lakes. In the late 1990s, the region was managed through several dedicated state lands, including the Foot Hills State Forest, White Oak State Forest, Badoura State Forest, and Deerfield State Forest. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of Akeley near Akeley Cemetery to the more dispersed infrastructure of the surrounding timberlands, including a Landing Strip and isolated Gravel Pit operations. The drainage pattern is notable for its variety, from the larger Crystal Lake and Tenth Crow Wing Lake to the winding course of the Shingobee River and the secluded Howard Lake within the Chippewa National Forest. Local history and genealogy are anchored by sites such as the White Oak Cemetery, providing a specific geography for families rooted in these wooded lake lands.
