2016 Map of Becker

About this map

The Elk River and Snake River converge near the growing settlement of Becker, illustrating a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and agricultural development. This 2016 survey provides a detailed look at the township grid system in Sherburne County, where long-established burial grounds like Danish Cem, Snake River Cem, and Becker Cem serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The terrain is characterized by numerous sloughs and depressions, including Durgin, Johnson, and Lundberg Slough, which weave between family-named roads and rural sections. Aviation history is noted at the Schroeder Airport west of the main town site. Large water bodies such as Jim Lake, Eagle Lake, and Big Mud Lake punctuate the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, highlighting the region's complex drainage patterns and natural wetland areas.
