2018 Map of Haugen

About this map

Bear Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Barron County region, where the village of Haugen serves as a primary local hub. The area is characterized by an intricate network of kettle lakes and wetlands, including Lake Desair, Ginder Lake, and Fish Lake, which are interconnected by drainages like Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek. For researchers, the map reveals a quiet rural layout defined by a grid of numbered avenues and streets that navigate the varied terrain around Tuscobia. Cultural history is anchored by several small burial grounds, notably the Bohemian National Cemetery and Wiesner Cemetery. Modern recreation and conservation are represented by the crossing of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the Wild Rivers State Trail, highlighting the area's continued role as a gateway to the Wisconsin lake country north of Rice Lake.
