About this map

Clear Lake sits at the northwestern edge of this landscape, where the agricultural grid of Western Wisconsin meets a network of small waterways. The terrain is defined by the convergence of four counties—Polk, Barron, St. Croix, and Dunn—creating a unique jurisdictional junction. Historically significant smaller settlements like Reeve and Graytown are positioned near the eastern and central-eastern borders, serving as local hubs for the surrounding farmstead network.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Willow River meandering through the northern sections and S Fork Hay River cutting through the northeast corner near Reeve. The central and southern areas are drained by several smaller tributaries, including Jack Green Cr, Wolf Cr, and Bolen Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape of enduring rural character, where the township and range system has shaped the placement of roads like Co Line Ave and Polk Saint Croix RD.
