1973 Map of Gull Lake

About this map

Gull Lake dominates this landscape on the border of Cass and Crow Wing counties, defining a region where water and recreation intersect. The map records the development of lakeside communities like Nisswa, Lake Shore, and East Gull Lake during a period of transition in the early 1970s, with later updates from the 1990s visible. Cultural landmarks such as the Donnybrooke Speedway and a Drive-in Theater along highway 371 reflect the mid-century leisure economy that transformed the area.
