About this map

Fifty Lakes and Emily serve as the primary hubs in this lake-dominated landscape, situated where the boundary of Cass Co and Crow Wing Co meets. The region is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways, including the large basin of Mitchell Lake and the connected waters of Eagle Lake and West Fox Lake. The drainage system of Daggett Brook winds through the wetlands, connecting smaller bodies like Ratberry Lake and Pistol Lake.

A dense network of local routes, such as Wolf Lake Trl and Pistol Lake Trl, suggests a landscape used for seasonal recreation and timber access. The presence of The Narrows between the larger lake systems highlights the narrow land bridges that dictated travel and development in the North Woods. This survey captures the modern distribution of lakeside residences along roads like N Mitchell Lake Rd and Minnie Lake Dr.
