About this map

Detroit Lakes serves as the central hub of this Becker County landscape, where the town's grid meets the expansive north shore of Detroit Lake. The geography is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, including Floyd Lake to the north and the winding Pelican River which connects several smaller basins. This 2013 survey reveals a community deeply integrated with its lakeside environment, featuring numerous recreational and civic landmarks like the Becker County Fairgrounds and the American Legion Campgrounds.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing religious and memorial sites such as the Holy Rosary Catholic Church and Oak Grove Cem. To the east, the elevation rises toward Detroit Mountain, providing a distinct contrast to the wetland and lake-studded lowlands that dominate the western portion of the quadrangle. The presence of several established courses, including the Maple Hills Golf Course, further illustrates the area's development as a regional destination for leisure and outdoor activity.
