2013 Map of Lower Whitefish Lake

About this map

Lower Whitefish Lake and its interconnected northern Minnesota waters dominate this Crow Wing County landscape, showcasing a complex aquatic geography defined by narrow channels and expansive basins. Small communities like Manhattan Beach and Fifty Lakes occupy the higher ground between these water bodies, while Breezy Point and Crosslake serve as focal points for the region's long-established recreational character. The map illustrates how local transit has adapted to the terrain, with routes like Co Hwy-1 and Co Hwy-66 skirting the edges of Big Trout Lake and Arrowhead Lake. Land use patterns are further highlighted by the Whitefish Golf Course and Highview Campground, reflecting the area's transition from early settlements like Swanburg to its modern identity as a premier lake destination. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as the Swanburg Cem and the small residential clusters at Lakewood Court and Ideal Corners.
