About this map

Gull Lake and its western indentation, Wilson Bay, anchor this portrait of the central Minnesota lake country in Cass County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, including Dead Horse Lake, Beauty Lake, and the winding Home Brook. This era shows significant residential and recreational development concentrated along the shorelines of the larger water bodies, with the settlements of Lake Shore and East Gull Lake providing the primary hubs of activity.

Transportation in the region relies on a grid of county roads and lanes like Co Hwy 1 and Co Rd 77 SW that navigate between the numerous basins. The presence of the East Gull Lake Airport indicates the area's role as a seasonal destination and fly-in community. Away from the developed lakefronts, more isolated features such as Burned Camp Lake and Stump Lake reflect the wilder, marshy interior typical of the Brainerd Lakes region.
