About this map

Toad Lake and Wolf Lake dominate this Becker County landscape, which transitions from the lake-studded north to the winding drainage of the Redeye River in the south. The small settlement of Evergreen is situated in the lower section of the map, serving as a local anchor point amidst the surrounding wetlands and woods. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals a rural community defined by its water bodies and local institutions, including Zion Ch and Pickerel Ch.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial sites, such as Palm Cem and Pickerel Cem, which are scattered throughout the Spruce Grove and Evergreen townships. The map also records several Gravel Pits, indicating local extractive industry during the late 1960s. The intricate network of waterways, including Sock Lake, Mud Lake, and the descriptively named Dead Horse Creek, illustrates the natural hydrology of the region before significant modern development.
