About this map

Falun and Alpha anchor the southern portion of this Burnett County landscape, where the Wood River winds through a terrain shaped by managed waterways and glacial remnants. The northwestern corner is dominated by the South Refuge Flowage and Upper Phantom Flowage, critical wetland habitats maintained by the Crex Meadows Dam and Reed Lake. This network of dikes, including Main Dike Rd and N Fork Dike Rd, illustrates the complex water management system essential to the local ecology.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds such as Anscarius Cemetery, Freya Cemetery, and Wood Lake Cemetery, which are scattered among farmsteads and rural intersections like Hildas Corner. The survey documents a late-20th-century transition in rural infrastructure, showing a grid of family-named routes such as Klarquist Rd and Bjorklund Rd that cross the wandering paths of Wood Creek.
