2019 Map of Detroit Lakes

About this map

Detroit Lakes serves as the focal point of this Becker County landscape, where the BNSF Railway corridor and major thoroughfares like Main St W cut through the developed center. The region is defined by its complex glacial hydrology, featuring a dense concentration of water bodies including the expansive Detroit Lake, Floyd Lake, and Abbey Lake. Smaller features like Deadshot Bay and the winding Pelican River suggest a shoreline-driven local economy and geography. For genealogists and local historians, several key burial sites are documented, including Oak Grove Cem and Holy Rosary Catholic Church Cem. To the east, the elevation rises toward Detroit Mtn, while residential expansion is evident along named roads such as Oakland Beach Rd and Little Floyd Lake Rd, showing the modern footprint of this lakeside community.
