INTERESTING FACT: The Carl A. Zappfe “Old Timers II” book has historic maps from U.S. Army Special Agent William McAboy showing the old Leech Lake Road and the lakes along that route. The map displayed Nisswa Lake very differently than today, split in half with a narrow river connecting the two pieces. Whether this is due to a change in topography since then or poor cartography is anyone’s guess.
