This is a vintage original Atomic Age pictorial cartoon map of the Emily and Outing Vacationland region of north central Minnesota. This is a folding map that folds open to about 22.25” x 17” with the pictorial cartoon map covering the entirety of one side. Included are whimsical icons and cartoonish caricatures illustrating special features and points of interest in the region. The lower left hand corner indicates the artist’s name “Witkus”. This map isn’t dated but is a vintage original which we believe dates to the early to mid 1950s.

Lakes featured include Agate Lake, Big Rice Lake, Lake Emily, Fox Lake, Lawrence Lake, Lake Mary, Michaud Lake, Mitchell Lake, Morrison Lake, Roosevelt Lake, Ruth Lake, Thunder Lake and Washburn Lake and others. Towns featured include Ironton, Crosby, Deerwood, Fifty Lakes, Emily, Outing and Swatara.
