About this map

Jackson Cemetery and a sprawling network of glacial lakes define this Burnett County landscape near the turn of the 21st century. The terrain is characterized by an intricate collection of water bodies, from the prominent Birch Island Lake and Des Moines Lake in the east to the smaller Bogey Lake and Culbertson Lake tucked among the northern hills. The drainage pattern is anchored by Loon Creek, which is managed by the Loon Lake 2WP344 Dam.

Infrastructure in this lake country reflects its role as a destination for recreation and residential retreat, evidenced by the Voyager Village Airstrip and a dense web of local access roads like Voyager Rd and Honey Tree Rd. These routes wind between larger waters such as Sand Lake and Pine Lake, connecting the various basins. The map captures a high degree of modern parcelization and road development typical of Wisconsin's northern vacation districts.
