About this map

Vergas serves as the central hub of this lake-dotted landscape along the border of Becker Co and Otter Tail Co. The area is characterized by an exceptionally dense concentration of glacial lakes, ranging from the large expanses of Long Lake and Rose Lake to smaller basins like Scalp Lake, Candor Lake, and Nottage Lake. This 2016 survey documents a well-distributed network of local roads such as Jolly Fisherman Rd and Sybil Shores Dr that provide access to the numerous shorelines.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find an unusually high number of burial sites mapped here, reflecting the early settlement of these townships. These include Saint Johns Cem, Schrams Cem, and the uniquely named Free Thought Cem located near the southern boundary. The landscape's transition from the northern t138n r41w and t138n r40w townships into the southern reaches highlights the dense integration of residential lakefront development and the surrounding rural terrain.
