About this map

Prairie Lake and Lake Chetek dominate this landscape in Barron County, forming a complex waterway regulated by the Chetek WP277 Dam. The city of Chetek serves as the central hub, positioned between these significant water bodies and the winding Red Cedar River. The local geography is defined by its glacial lake system, including Mud Lake, Bailey Lake, and Pokegama Lake, which are interspersed with residential and agricultural grids.

Genealogists can identify several local burial grounds, such as Pleasant Plain Cemetery, Lakeview Cemetery, and Otterholt Cemetery. Transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Chetek Municipal- Southworth Airport and the historical corridor of Railroad Ave. The transition from riverine systems like Tenmile Creek to the larger lake basins highlights the region's importance as a northern Wisconsin water crossroads.
