About this map

Big Basswood Lake and its smaller neighbor Little Basswood Lake anchor a landscape defined by glacial kettle lakes and wetlands in rural Becker County. The area’s secondary road network, including Co Hwy-44 and various township avenues, connects scattered residences and provides access to several isolated water bodies like Mallard Lake and Kneebone Lake.

A sense of local history is preserved at Lakeside Cem, situated near the shoreline of Coon Lake along Hughes Fire Trl. The hydrological pattern of the region is further revealed through the winding courses of Indian Cr and Basswood Cr, which feed into larger systems such as the Straight River to the south. This survey documents the transition between the dense lake clusters and the more open agricultural or timber tracts defined by the local grid system.
