About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands define this northern landscape along the border of Becker and Otter Tail counties. The Redeye River cuts through the northeastern corner of the map, while large water bodies like Bear Lake and Mud Lake anchor the central topography. This area is characterized by a high density of small basins and marshes, reflecting the region's complex post-glacial drainage patterns. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Saint John's Cem and Bethlehem Cem in the south, and Spruce Grove Cem to the north. These sites, often associated with early settlement clusters, provide a point of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Minnesota. The map also traces an extensive network of county highways and local roads, such as Co Hwy 8 and Co Hwy 53, which connect the scattered farms and lakefront properties.
