About this map

Glacial lakes and small watercourses define this rural section of the Minnesota lakeside country along the border of Becker and Otter Tail counties. The landscape is characterized by a high density of wetlands and small basins, including Collett Lake, Mud Lake, and Bear Lake. The headwaters of the Redeye River wind through the eastern townships, while the southern margin of the map touches the northern reaches of Big Pine Lake.

Genealogists will find several well-established burial grounds that serve as anchors for the local community, including Spruce Grove Cem in the north and Bethlehem Cem further south. The section-line road network is largely intact, with routes like Co Hwy 8 and Lake Edna Rd providing access to the various scattered farmsteads and lakefront areas. This survey reflects the persistent agricultural and recreational character of the region in the early 21st century.
