2010 Map of Rochert

About this map

Rochert serves as the central hub of this lake-strewn landscape in Becker County, where the Otter Tail River winds through a dense network of glacial basins and wetlands. The geography is defined by managed water levels and historical family legacies, evidenced by the Cotton Lake Diversion Dam and the Hubbel Pond Dam. For those tracing local heritage, the area is dotted with small burial grounds, including the Mennonite Cemetery, the Dretsch Family Memorial Cemetery, and Senjen Cemetery. Large water bodies like Cotton Lake, Rice Lake, and Hungry Lake are interconnected by minor tributaries and county roads, reflecting a rural township structure where settlement is closely tied to the waterfront. The transition from Burlington Twp 10 to Silverleaf Twp 14 highlights the organized division of this recreational and agricultural region.
