About this map

Emily and Fifty Lakes anchor this landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands along the border of Cass Co and Crow Wing Co. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of water bodies, ranging from the large Mitchell Lake and Eagle Lake to smaller, isolated basins like Pug Hole Lake and Snowshoe Lake. This pattern of interconnected waterways and low-lying marshes suggests a region heavily shaped by glacial recession, where drainage is managed by systems like Daggett Brook and Hay Creek.

Resort and residential development is concentrated around the shorelines, particularly at Fox Beach on West Fox Lake and along the southern banks of Kego Lake. The road network, including Co Rd 136 and various lake-access routes like Wolf Lake Trl, reflects the importance of seasonal recreation and water access to the local economy and settlement pattern. The area maintains a transition between clustered communities and the more remote, marshy tracts found toward Lake George.
