2016 Map of Flom SE

About this map

The S Br Wild Rice River meanders through the western half of this Becker County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region characterized by numerous glacial wetlands and small lakes. In the eastern portion, the headwaters of the Buffalo River and the quiet waters of Cucumber Lake and Lemon Lake anchor the terrain. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural infrastructure, where routes like Mn Main Hwy and Co Rd 18 segment the land into regular sections. This 2016 survey documents a modern prairie landscape where water management and agriculture are inextricably linked, visible in the way the river systems and Balke Lake are interspersed with a dense network of township roads such as 150th Ave and 350th St. It is a detailed record of the upper Midwest's rural geometry and its natural drainage patterns.
