2020 Map of Brocket

About this map

Brocket sits at a geographic crossroads in Ramsey County, where the grid of sectional roads and the path of N Brocket Dr define the local grain and movement. This northern prairie landscape is characterized by its numerous small depressions and water bodies, most notably McHugh Slough and Clear Lake. For those tracing family histories in the region, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Vaage Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and Hoff Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early settlement. The map also delineates the meeting point of three counties—Ramsey, Nelson, and Walsh—providing a clear view of how these administrative lines intersect amidst the wetlands and agricultural fields of the Red River Valley's western edge.
