1970 Map of Roosevelt Lake

About this map

Outing and the northern portion of Emily anchor this landscape defined by an intricate network of glaciated basins and wetlands at the border of Cass and Crow Wing counties. The sprawling waters of Roosevelt Lake dominate the central terrain, bordered by several smaller bodies like Lawrence Lake and Leavitt Lake. Much of the area is protected within the Land O' Lakes State Forest, with specific recreational and conservation points including the Washburn Lake Campground and a Ranger Station near Grasshopper Lake. To the south, the Duck Lake State Wildlife Management Area highlights the transition into more marshy territory. This 1970 field-checked survey preserves the layout of seasonal roads, gravel pits, and small shoreline developments before further modern expansion reached these northern woods.
