2019 Map of Rochert

About this map

Rochert serves as the central hub of this Becker County landscape, situated at a junction near the northern banks of Cotton Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands, connected by the winding course of the Otter Tail River. This 2019 survey documents a rural community deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by numerous family and denominational burial grounds including the Dretsch Family Memorial Cem, Mennonite Cem, and Mount Olive Cem. The presence of the N Country National Scenic Trail cutting through the eastern half of the quadrangle highlights the area's transition toward recreational land use. Local transport is facilitated by a network of county roads like Co Rd 29 and Co Rd 32, which link smaller water bodies such as Trieglaff Lake and Hungry Lake to the more established settlements.
