2024 Map of Brocket

About this map

Brocket serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the intersection of N Brocket Dr and local section roads marks the heart of the community. The surrounding rural terrain is defined by its numerous small basins and glacial depressions, characteristic of the region's wetland ecology. Significant conservation tracts, including the Nelson County Waterfowl Production Area and the Ncwpa, protect these aquatic habitats. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Joseph Cem, Vaage Cem, and Hoff Cem, which are scattered among the farmsteads. The eastern portion of the quadrangle features larger water bodies like McHugh Slough and Clear Lake, illustrating the transition from tilled fields to the complex wetland systems of Nelson and Ramsey counties.
