2022 Map of Falun

About this map

Falun and Alpha anchor this Burnett County landscape, where the Wood River and its tributaries carve a complex network of wetlands and managed water levels. The presence of several distinct flowages, including Upper Phantom Flowage, North Fork Flowage, and Sandberg Flowage, indicates a region defined by hydraulic engineering and wildlife management, supported by infrastructure like Main Dike Rd and the Phantom Lake Bypass. For family historians, the area is rich with genealogical sites, featuring four distinct burial grounds: Falun Settlers Cem, Wood Lake Cem, Ansgarus Cem, and Freya Cem. These cemeteries are connected by a grid of rural routes such as Cemetery Rd and Range Line Rd, reflecting a stable agricultural and conservation-focused settlement pattern in northwestern Wisconsin.
