About this map

Pelican Lake dominates this Crow Wing County landscape, centered around the lakeside community of Breezy Point. The settlement is a hub of recreational and residential development, evidenced by the dense network of roads like Sunset Valley Rd and Lakeview Ln that ring the water's edge. The northern shore is marked by the presence of the Breezy Point Airport, providing a distinctive transportation link for this vacation and residential destination.

Beyond the primary lake, the area is characterized by a complex chain of smaller water bodies, including Little Pelican Lake, Lynch Lake, and the marshy edges of Shaffer Lake. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions toward Lake Edward, while the eastern reaches show the drainage patterns of Pelican Brook. This 2019 survey documents a landscape heavily influenced by its glacial geography, where nearly every depression in the terrain is occupied by named water features like Markee Lake and Lougee Lake.
