About this map

Big Basswood Lake and a dense network of glacial water bodies dominate this portion of Becker County. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic connections between Little Basswood Lake, Mallard Lake, and the winding course of Indian Cr, which feeds into the larger basins. In the northeastern quadrant, the Lakeside Cem serves as a quiet landmark near the shores of Coon Lake, situated along the Hughes Fire Trl.

The presence of numerous fire trails and forest roads, such as Basswood Trl and Little Scenic Trl, suggests a region managed for timber and conservation. Toward the southern boundary, the waters consolidate into the Straight River, while smaller, secluded basins like Lake Wahbegon and Sockeye Lake characterize the western edge. This survey reflects the modern balance of remote woodland access and established county infrastructure, seen in the grid of rural routes like Co Hwy 44 and 500th Ave.
