About this map

The Clam River winds through this section of the Wisconsin Northwoods, defining a landscape of glacial lakes and wetlands at the border of Polk and Burnett Counties. The settlement of Clam Falls serves as a local focal point near the center of the map, situated among numerous water bodies such as Ice Lake, Somers Lake, and Margaret Lake. The area's geography is characterized by its post-glacial features, which are today traversed by the Ice Age National Scenic Trail as it cuts through the southeastern quadrant.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Lewis Cem and the small community of Coomer in the northeast. Rural transit is facilitated by a grid of named local roads, including Godfrey Lake Rd and Burnikel Rd, which provide access to scattered residences and the O J Reservoir. The map illustrates the contemporary balance between recreational natural spaces and the enduring rural road network of northwestern Wisconsin.
