About this map

The lake-strewn landscape of northern Minnesota is captured here, centered on the expansive waters of Lake Ada. In the early 21st century, this region across the Cass and Crow Wing county line remains a complex mosaic of wetlands, creeks, and glacial lakes. Small residential pockets like Chickamaw Beach at the southern edge and Pontoria to the north serve as local landmarks for this recreational and residential territory.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Ponto Lake Cem near Tamarack Lake, while a network of named county roads and trails like Co Rd 49 NW and Co Hwy 48 provide the primary transit through the woods. The map details a dense cluster of smaller named basins, including Jail Lake, Clough Lake, and the curiously named Potshot Lake, illustrating the post-glacial hydrology that defines this portion of the Northwoods.
