About this map

Pelican Lake and Lake Edward dominate this landscape within the Crow Wing State Forest, illustrating the recreational and residential development of central Minnesota in the late 1950s. The village of Breezy Point shows established infrastructure including a Golf Course and a Landing Strip, while the Breezy Point Corporate Bdy delineates the municipal limits during this period of growth.

Smaller water bodies such as Ossawinnamakee Lake, Lougee Lake, and Bonnie Lake are interspersed throughout the wooded terrain, many connected by seasonal waterways like Pelican Brook. Local social centers are marked by the Ossipee Sch and a Town Hall, providing critical points of interest for genealogists tracing mid-century rural communities. A Gaging Sta on the lake shore and several gravel pits indicate the local management of natural resources and infrastructure maintenance.
