About this map

Big Cormorant Lake and its smaller neighbor, Lake Ida, anchor this detailed survey of the lake-dotted border between Becker and Otter Tail Counties. The settlement of Cormorant serves as a local hub, featuring the Cormorant Ch and the Cormorant Cem. The landscape is defined by the complex glacial topography common to the region, with the Pelican River connecting a chain of significant water bodies including Pelican Lake and Lake Lizzie.

Conservation efforts are prominent across the terrain, marked by several designated units of the National Waterfowl Production Area. To the south, the community of Dunvilla is established near the banks of the Pelican River, while the Scambler Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Scambler township. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered throughout indicate the area's geological and industrial activity during the early 1970s.
