About this map

The Elk River winds through the southern landscape of this Sherburne County quadrangle, where the growing community of Becker sits at a critical rail and road junction. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies, including Durgin Slough, Lundberg Slough, and Frederickson Slough, illustrating the glacial hydrology of the region. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several distinct burial sites, such as the Danish Cemetery in the northwest and the Snake River Cemetery further east.

Transportation and infrastructure dominate the central corridor, from the small Schroeder Airport to the Becker Post Office and the residential developments at Pine Ridge Court. The Snake River feeds into these lowlands, eventually regulated by the Eagle Lake Dam near Eagle Lake. This survey provides a clear look at the area's transition from open sloughs and lakes like Big Mud Lake and Jim Lake to a more developed landscape integrated with the surrounding natural drainage systems like County Ditch Number Nineteen.
