About this map

Lake Eunice and its surrounding glacial terrain define this portion of the Minnesota lake country, straddling the border of Becker Co and Otter Tail Co. The map reveals a dense network of water bodies and recreational infrastructure, where the Pelican River connects Little Pelican Lake and Holbrook Lake. At the settlement of Bucks Mill, the convergence of Mill Lake, Buck Lake, and Mill Pond indicates a landscape historically shaped by water power and management, now characterized by residential enclaves and summer homes along shores like Newport Beach Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several primary burial sites, including the Lake Eunice Cem and the Augustana Lutheran Cem near the northern map edge, along with the Zion Cem to the south. The transition from established community centers like Lake Eunice to the developed fairways of the Windflower Golf Course illustrates the area's modern identity as a resort and residential destination, all while maintaining the rural character of roads such as Saint Marys Rd and Dahl Rd.
