2016 Map of Evergreen

About this map

The Redeye River and Dead Horse Cr weave through this section of Becker County, defining a landscape of glacial lakes and small rural settlements. The community of Evergreen sits at the southern edge of the sheet, serving as a hub for the surrounding township lands. A strong sense of local heritage is preserved in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as the Pickett Family Cem and the Palm Cem. Large water bodies like Toad Lake and Wolf Lake dominate the northern and eastern portions of the map, while numerous smaller basins like Sock Lake and Mud Lake dot the interior. The grid of country roads, including Co Rd 39 and Co Rd 36, provides access to these isolated reaches of the Minnesota lake country, illustrating a persistent pattern of rural life and land use in the mid-2010s.
