About this map

Sand Lake and Birch Island Lake anchor this lake-dense corner of Burnett County, where the landscape is defined by glacial kettle lakes and a complex network of forest roads. The 2018 geography shows a mix of recreational development and preserved wetlands, notably the expansive Kilkare Marsh and the many smaller bodies of water like Point Lake and Green Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the Jackson Cem near Point Lake provides a specific point of interest for family research in the area.

Transportation and infrastructure are geared toward the region's seasonal and residential character, evidenced by the Voyager Village Airstrip and numerous residential ways such as Setting Sun Trail Way and Honey Tree Ter. Larger water bodies like Des Moines Lake and Upper Twin Lake mark the northern and eastern boundaries, while the course of Loon Cr connects the drainage of the northern lakes through this aquatic-heavy terrain.
