2022 Map of Rochert

About this map

Rochert serves as the central hub of this Becker County landscape, where the Otter Tail River winds through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The region's genealogy and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including the Chilton Cem, Mount Olive Cem, and the Dretsch Family Memorial Cem. This 2022 survey illustrates a landscape deeply tied to recreational and natural preservation, evidenced by the extensive North Country National Scenic Trl and the Otter Tail River Trl that navigate between major water bodies like Cotton Lake and Pickerel Lake. The map reveals a transition from the established settlement of Rochert to the more secluded shorelines of Hungry Lake and Trieglaff Lake, documenting the modern footprint of rural Minnesota lake country.
