About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands dominate this portion of Becker County, where the White Earth Indian Reservation Boundary meets the extensive grounds of the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is a complex network of water bodies, including the large expanses of Flat Lake and Tamarac Lake, connected by the winding Buffalo River.

Settlement patterns in Holmesville and Tamarac townships are sparse, centered primarily around civic and social anchors like the Town Hall and Egelund Ch. To the south, near the Hubbel Pond Game Refuge, the presence of School No 64 suggests a rural community structured around small local districts. This map provides a detailed view of the region's hydrography and conservation lands, from Cotton Lake to the various smaller basins like North Momb Lake and Balsam Lake.
