About this map

Runeberg and the surrounding townships of Blueberry, Paddock, and Red Eye define this rural landscape on the border of Otter Tail, Wadena, and Becker Counties. In the late 1960s, the area remained a patchwork of woodlots and drainage systems, evidenced by the prominent County Ditch No 27 cutting through the center of the sheet. Community life is anchored by local landmarks such as Runeberg Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside the White Oak Sch. The drainage of the Redeye River and Kettle River dominates the hydrology, with smaller watercourses like Kitten Creek and the marshy margins of Mud Lake shaping the local terrain. A distinct Pipeline corridor and scattered Gravel Pits reflect the modest industrial infrastructure supporting this agricultural region during the post-war era.
