2022 Map of Flat Lake

About this map

The Buffalo River and Egg River flow through this water-rich pocket of Becker County, where glacial depressions have created a dense network of lakes and wetlands. The landscape is defined by the transition between major bodies like Flat Lake and Cotton Lake, connected by smaller waters such as Balsam Lake and the Twin Lakes. This 2022 survey documents a contemporary recreation and conservation area, highlighted by the North Country National Scenic Trl which winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Egelund Cem located off Co Rd 26. The map details a specialized road network including Yellow Head Trl and Old-Indian Trl, reflecting both the historic pathways and modern access routes to the numerous shoreline properties and the local Visitor Center.
