About this map

Lower Whitefish Lake and its intricate network of surrounding basins define this portion of the northern woods in the early 2000s. The landscape is a dense archipelago of water and land, featuring named points of interest such as Big Trout Lake, Pig Lake, and Clamshell Lake. Human settlement is concentrated in small pockets like Manhattan Beach, where the Manhattan Beach Post Office serves the local community, and the rural junction of Swanburg further north.

Water management and recreation are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Richard Perkins Dam and the Ossawinnamakee Lake Dam. The map tracks the evolution of local leisure and transit, showing the Whitefish Golf Course near Lakewood Court and the winding course of County Hwy-1. Genealogists and local historians will find the Swanburg Cemetery a vital landmark for tracing family roots in this lake-bound region of Crow Wing County.
