1973 Map of Emily

About this map

Emily serves as the central hub of this lake-studded landscape in the early 1970s, positioned between the expansive Lake Emily and Ruth Lake. The topography is defined by its post-glacial character, featuring a dense network of water bodies such as Ross Lake, Andrews Lake, and Dahler Lake that are linked by the Little Pine River and Pine River. This survey reveals a community deeply integrated with its natural resources, showing the Emily State Forest and the Crow Wing State Forest spanning large tracts of the territory. Local infrastructure is well-documented for genealogy and history, including the Pine Ridge Cem near the town center and the Township Cem further south. The map also highlights specific landmarks like the Emily Lookout Tower and a Radio Tower, alongside various public access points and shoreline features like Ministers Point and Magbee Island.
