About this map

The boundary between Becker and Otter Tail counties divides this northern Minnesota landscape, where the headwaters of the Redeye River and Collett Creek meander through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The area is defined by its rural character and a scatter of community landmarks that suggest a long-standing agricultural foundation. Bear Lake, Collett Lake, and Edna Lake dominate the hydrography, surrounded by a grid of county roads and highways that connect isolated farmsteads and rural parishes.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of religious and burial sites. The map documents St Johns Lutheran Church and its associated St Johns Lutheran Church North Cem, as well as Bethlehem Cemetery and Spruce Grove Cemetery. These sites, along with the proximity to Big Pine Lake at the southern edge, reflect the cultural and geographic heart of this lake-country region.
