About this map

Black Brook flows through a landscape defined by a grid of agricultural and local roads in this rural portion of Polk County. The northern section is punctuated by glacial water bodies, most notably Bone Lake and Long Lake, which served as historical focal points for local land divisions. The movement of water across the terrain is further illustrated by the Willow River and its tributary, the South Fork Willow River, alongside smaller drainage features like Hutton Cr and Wolf Cr.

Transportation patterns center on the north-south corridor of Us-63, which intersects with Wi-64 in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A fragment of Old US Hwy 63 in the northeast provides a specific point of interest for those studying the evolution of Wisconsin's state highway system. The dense network of numbered avenues and streets reflects the systematic township-and-range surveying that shaped the region's development.
