2016 Map of Butler

About this map

Butler and Hillview anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Becker and Otter Tail Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Kettle River in the north and the Redeye River further south, interspersed with extensive wetlands and the waters of Mud Lake. Local genealogy and land history are centered around established community landmarks such as Holy Cross Cemetery, Red Eye Valley Cemetery, and Paddock-Bethel Cemetery. A dense grid of county roads and township lines, including County Highway 62 and County Highway 47, connects these small settlements, reflecting a persistent pattern of mid-century agricultural land divisions that continues to shape the region today.
