About this map

Brandon anchors this portion of Douglas County, situated at a junction where Co HWY-82 and Co HWY-7 converge near the local Post Office. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes, ranging from the large reaches of Lobster Lake and Chippewa Lake to smaller basins like Whiskey Lake, Moon Lake, and Golden Pond. This dense concentration of water bodies has shaped both the transit routes and the recreational character of the area, as seen at the Acorn Acres Resort and Campground on the northern shores of Devils Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Brandon Cem, Chippewa Cem, and the separated E Moe Cem and W Moe Cem. Aviation history is represented by Angen Field Airport located east of Nelson Lake, while the local hydrology is further detailed by Hoplin Cr and several smaller ponds such as Loves Lake and Burrs Lake. The map illustrates a well-developed secondary road system, with family-named routes like Hermanson RD and Millbrandt RD connecting lakeside residences to the regional hubs.
