About this map

Frederic serves as the primary hub in this corner of northwest Wisconsin, where the Gandy Dancer State Trail follows a clear rail corridor through the heart of the village. The landscape is defined by the glacial legacy of Polk and Burnett Counties, visible in the dense concentration of kettle lakes such as Blom Lake, Coon Lake, and Diamond Lake. These water bodies are connected by a network of drainage systems, including the Wood River and the Trade River to the south.

Smaller settlements like West Sweden and Lewis dot the rural grid, which is largely organized along numeric avenues and family-named routes like Nyberg Rd and Carlson Rd. The presence of the Gandy Dancer State Trail highlights the region's transition from a railway-dependent timber and agricultural economy to one focused on recreation and conservation, preserving the historic transit line for modern use.
