2016 Map of Flat Lake

About this map

Cotton Lake and Pine Lake dominate the hydrography of this Becker County region, where the intricate network of the Otter Tail River and Buffalo River shapes the glacial landscape. The 2016 survey documents a transition in land use, where local roads such as Rock Rice Rd and Co Rd 26 intersect with historic pathways like the Old Indian Trail and the expansive N Country National Scenic Trail. For genealogists and local historians, the Egelund Lutheran Cem serves as a key landmark in Township 140N, Range 40W. The presence of named trails like Yellow Head Trl and specialized loops around S Tamarac Lake and Pine Lake highlights the modern importance of conservation and outdoor access in this lake-dense portion of Minnesota.
