About this map

The Yellow River flows southward through this rural section of Chippewa County, providing the primary drainage for a landscape defined by its many tributary systems. The settlement of Colburn is situated at the junction of County Hwy-S and County Hwy-D, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural community. To the northwest, Pike Lake is a prominent natural feature, fed by Pike Creek as it moves toward its confluence with the larger river system.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Walker-Jackson Cemetery, located south of Lancor Rd. The map detail reveals an extensive network of named creeks, including Big Drywood Creek, Little Drywood Creek, and Coldwater Creek, which illustrate the complex water management of the region. A strict grid of rural roads, such as Buresh Rd and Babbitt Rd, connects isolated farmsteads and provides access to the diverse creek valleys that define this Wisconsin interior.
