About this map

The city of Chetek sits at the heart of this Barron County landscape, where the Chetek River flows from the southern end of Lake Chetek. This area is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Prairie Lake, Mud Lake, and the winding Red Cedar River. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the shoreline and the local road system, which includes the historical placements of the Pleasant Plain Cem, Otterholt Cem, and Lakeview Cem.

Industry and transport are represented by the Chetek Municipal-Southworth Airport and the corridor along HWY Blvd N Railroad Ave, reflecting the town's role as a regional hub. Local landmarks such as Pittmans Point and the passage known as The Narrows indicate a terrain shaped by glacial activity, creating a fragmented shoreline that has long supported both recreation and timber-related history. The map also captures the smaller drainage systems of Tenmile Creek and Brown Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of northern Wisconsin.
