About this map

The Yellow River and North Fork Clam River anchor the drainage of this lake-strewn portion of Burnett County in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring large water bodies like Big Sand Lake and Pokegama Lake, along with numerous smaller basins including Baker, Temple, and Lost. The settlement of Hertel serves as a central hub, situated near the intersection of several county routes and local roads.

For those tracing local history or genealogy, the Big Sand Lake Cemetery provides a key point of interest near the southern shore of its namesake lake. Practical infrastructure is represented by historic crossing points such as Whistler Bridge and Pearson Bridge over the Yellow River. The map also delineates the transition from open water to marshy lowlands near Cranberry Lake and Warner Lake, illustrating the complex network of brooks and creeks like Spring Brook, Bashaw Brook, and Montgomery Creek that weave through the region.
