About this map

Forada serves as the central settlement in this Douglas County landscape, situated just north of the expansive Maple Lake. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies including Lake Victoria, Lake Burgan, and Union Lake, which are interconnected by a network of local roads such as County Hwy-23 and County Hwy-17. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition from lakeside residential pockets to broader agricultural tracks, with the Judicial Ditch Number Four providing managed drainage in the eastern section.

Local landmarks of interest to genealogists and historians include the Hudson Cemetery and the Maple Lake Inlet Dam. Transportation and infrastructure are highlighted by the Burgen Lake West Bound Rest Area along the interstate corridor and the Aggies Landing Airport near the eastern margin. Smaller, secluded waters like Lovers Lake and Mud Lake provide a detailed look at the wetland and lake-rich environment typical of this portion of Minnesota.
