About this map

Chetek serves as the hub of this lakeside landscape, where the waters of Prairie Lake, Lake Chetek, and the Chetek River converge. The town's grid is well-defined by streets such as W Stout St and Knapp St, and the local infrastructure includes the Chetek Municipal-Southworth Airport on the eastern outskirts. For genealogists, the map identifies three significant burial sites: Pleasant Plain Cem, Otterholt Cem, and Lakeview Cem, each situated in a different quadrant of the township.

The hydrography is particularly complex in this part of Barron County. The Red Cedar River and its tributaries like Sioux Cr and Tiller Cr navigate the southern terrain, while narrow water passages such as The Narrows and Pike Slough connect the larger lakes. Distinctive landforms like Pittmans Point jut into the northern waters, illustrating how the glacial geography of the region has shaped both the recreational and residential development of the area.
