2013 Map of Chetek

About this map

Chetek serves as the focal point for this Barron County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the shores of Lake Chetek. The surrounding geography is defined by a complex chain of lakes, including Prairie Lake, Tenmile Lake, and Bailey Lake, linked by the winding courses of the Chetek River and the Red Cedar River. This 2013 survey illustrates the local transport and recreation network, featuring the Stardust Drive-In Theatre and numerous water-dependent landmarks such as Pittmans Point and The Narrows. The map provides a clear look at the area's development, showing how residential streets like Dallas St and Schofield St transition into the rural section-line roads of the Wisconsin countryside. Local history researchers will find the precise mapping of small tributaries like Tenmile Cr and Sioux Cr particularly useful for identifying ancestral property boundaries and historical land use along the riverbanks.
