About this map

The Wood River drainage network dominates this portion of Burnett County, where a sophisticated system of flowages and bypasses manages the local hydrology. This 2015 survey details the small communities of Alpha and Falun, positioned south of a series of man-made water features including the N Fork Flowage and Upper N Fork Flowage. The landscape is a complex arrangement of wetlands and controlled water bodies like the Phantom Lake Bypass and S Refuge Flowage, illustrating the area's modern water management infrastructure.

Genealogists will find significant local history markers in the numerous rural burial grounds, such as Anscarius Cem, Wood Lake Cem, and Freya Cem. The map traces the transition from these historic community sites to the natural and engineered surroundings of Wood Lake and Indian Lake. The extensive road network, including Co HWY M and Range Line RD, connects these isolated settlements through the wooded terrain of northwestern Wisconsin.
