2016 Map of Wolf Lake

About this map

The community of Wolf Lake and the nearby settlement of Midway anchor this pocket of Becker County, defined by a dense mosaic of glacial water bodies and wetlands. The landscape is dominated by irregularly shaped lakes such as Peninsula Lake, Island Lake, and Otter Lake, many connected by subtle drainage patterns like the Kettle River. Local history is preserved at the Wolf Lake Community Cem and Bethany Cem, which serve the rural residents of the T139N R37W and T138N R36W townships. Transportation in this lake-heavy region relies on a network of county roads and local ways including Co Hwy 38 and Wolf Lake Forest Rd. The map illustrates the classic Minnesota transition from open water to marshland, specifically around Mud Lake and the northern reaches of Lake Katie, where the terrain shifts between elevated forest ridges and low-lying basins.
