2016 Map of Height of Land Lake

About this map

Height of Land Lake dominates this glacial landscape in Becker County, where the Otter Tail River and Egg River thread through an intricate system of wetlands and small basins. The 2016 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography, featuring numerous named bodies of water including Rice Lake, Chippewa Lake, and Island Lake. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the lake fringes, indicated by local routes like W Island Dr and E Height of Land Dr, while the interior remains primarily undeveloped marsh and forest. Modern recreational corridors are well-established, notably the N Country National Scenic Trail and the local Booth Lake Trails, which provide access to the more isolated areas near Booth Lake. The map serves as a detailed record of the mid-2010s shoreline and the rural road network, including the specifically named Schoolhouse Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing identity as a lakeside community and wilderness destination.
