About this map

Rochert serves as the central settlement in this portion of Becker County, situated along the Otter Tail River as it flows between Cotton Lake and Hubbel Pond. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Hungry Lake, Elbow Lake, and Rice Lake. This geography influenced the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which meanders through the eastern section of the map past Alvin Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several distinct burial sites across the township, such as Chilton Cem, Mennonite Cem, and the Dretsch Family Memorial Cem. The map provides a detailed view of rural infrastructure, with routes like Co Rd 29 and Peace River Ranch Rd connecting scattered farmsteads and lakefront properties. The transition from the more developed shores of Pickerel Lake to the secluded waters of Jones Lake reflects the varied land use in this pocket of Minnesota.
