1973 Map of Emily

About this map

The settlement of Emily sits at the northern nexus of a dense lake system in north-central Minnesota, as documented in this 1970s survey. This glacial landscape is defined by its hydrography, with the Pine River and Little Pine River connecting a series of named water bodies including Lake Emily, Ruth Lake, and Lake Mary. The 1994 revisions highlight the expansion of local infrastructure, showing the Emily Corporate Boundary and various public access points. Significant tracts of the Emily State Forest and Crow Wing State Forest cover much of the terrain, interspersed with early-century landmarks like the Emily Lookout Tower. Local genealogy and land use are reflected in features such as the Pine Ridge Cem, multiple Gravel Pits, and a sprawling network of field lines and fences that illustrate the rural character of Fairfield and Perry townships during this era.
