About this map

Sand Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this Burnett County landscape, characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and modern recreational infrastructure. The map documents the intricate residential and access road network serving the waterfronts of Birch Island Lake, Des Moines Lake, and Hanscom Lake. A notable landmark for regional travel is the Voyager Village Airstrip, located near Fish Lake.

Transport through this water-rich terrain is facilitated by Co Hwy-A and numerous local fire lanes such as Howard Fire Ln. The presence of the Snowmobile Trl south of Mallard Lake indicates the seasonal recreational use of the region. From the larger Upper Twin Lake to smaller basins like Bogey Lake, the map provides a clear record of shoreline development and the naming of secondary roads like Gelhar Rd and Kilkare Rd during the early 21st century.
