2016 Map of Sebeka NW

About this map

Redeye River and the Kettle River define this corner of the Minnesota lake country, where Wadena, Becker, and Otter Tail counties meet. The landscape is characterized by its complex drainage network, including Kitten Cr and the engineered County Ditch Number Twentyseven, which weave through a patchwork of rural farmsteads and section lines. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites, such as the Bethania Lutheran Cem, Red Eye Cem, and Grace Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early Scandinavian and German heritage. The presence of Mud Lake and numerous wetland pockets illustrates the transition from riverine systems to the kettle lakes region. This survey captures the quiet, agrarian character of the territory north of Sebeka during the early 21st century, well after the initial timber harvest era had transformed into a stable dairy and farming economy.
