2013 Map of Ogema

About this map

The settlement of Ogema serves as the focal point for this section of Becker County, Minnesota, situated along the north-south corridor of Us-59. This landscape is defined by its glacial till and abundant water bodies, ranging from smaller potholes to larger basins like Lemon Lake and Baker Lake. The hydrology is complex, featuring the meandering S Br Wild Rice River in the central portion and the Buffalo River flowing across the southern reaches toward Trotterchaud Lake. Local family history is rooted in the surrounding prairie and farmland, evidenced by the Groth Farm to the northwest. For genealogists, the map identifies significant burial sites including the Ogema Cem and the Most Holy Redeemer Cem, which reflect the community's early cultural and religious foundations. The network of township roads, such as Steffl Rd and Donley Rd, delineates a structured agricultural grid typical of the region's development.
