2015 Map of Hertel

About this map

Hertel serves as a central point in this lake-strewn landscape of Burnett County, where the intricate network of water bodies and glacial geography defines the region's character. The massive footprint of Big Sand Lake dominates the central portion of the map, neighbored by the Big Sand Lake Cem and the distinctive peninsula of Gatten Point extending into Warner Lake. This survey illustrates a complex hydrological system where the Yellow River and North Fork Clam River navigate through numerous smaller basins like Pokegama Lake and Bashaw Lake. The presence of Whistler Bridge and Pearson Bridge crossing the Yellow River indicates the vital transport connections maintained for local access. The dense distribution of lakes, including Viola Lake, Lost Lake, and Temple Lake, reflects the classic Northwoods glacial topography that has long supported local recreation and residential patterns.
