2022 Map of Richwood

About this map

Richwood is a focal point of this Becker County landscape, where the Buffalo River winds through a terrain defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to these water bodies, with seasonal and permanent residences clustered around Buffalo Lake and the shorelines of Rice Lake and Little Round Lake. This map captures the region's rural character and long-standing community roots, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the township lines. Genealogists and local historians can find the Holmesville Township Cem, the Lund Cem, and the Bakke Lutheran Cem near the banks of the Pelican River. The southern portion of the sheet transitions toward the Tamarac Lake and Little Floyd Lake areas, showing a landscape where modern roads like Co Rd 21 follow the historic paths between these significant water resources.
