About this map

The Yellow River and Red Cedar River converge in this section of Barron County, shaping the development of Barron, Cameron, and the southern outskirts of Rice Lake. The landscape is a mixture of riparian corridors and a dense grid of rural roads, such as 19th Ave and 14th St, which serve the agricultural and residential plots between the settlements. Aviation interests are well-represented by both the Barron Municipal Airport and the Rice Lake Regional Airport - Carl's Field, highlighting the area's role as a regional hub.

Local history and genealogy are preserved at sites like Swede Cem and Wayside Cem, situated among the winding paths of Barker Cr and Fourmile Cr. The presence of Little Lake and the smaller Quaderer Cr adds to the complex hydrography of the region. This modern topographic record captures the established character of these Wisconsin communities as they balance municipal growth with the natural drainage patterns of the surrounding prairie and wetlands.
