2010 Map of Burney Lake

About this map

The settlement of Almon sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the local road network begins to branch into the dense hydrography of central Wisconsin. The area is defined by the converging paths of the Red River, West Branch Red River, and Little West Branch Wolf River, creating a complex drainage system that heavily influenced the placement of early routes. Several roads bear names that suggest the historic land use of the region, such as McCall Camp Rd, National Guard Rd, and Wagon Bridge Rd. The grid of section lines is occasionally interrupted by more organic paths like Stoney Curve Rd and Mohheconnuck Rd, reflecting the area's transition from early timber and agricultural access to more modern recreational and residential use near the many creeks and river forks.
