About this map

Hertel serves as the central hub for this portion of Burnett County, situated at the intersection of local routes in a landscape defined by an extensive network of glacial lakes and drainage systems. The northern territory is dominated by the winding path of the Yellow River, which is crossed by notable local crossings such as Whistler Bridge and Pearson Bridge. These waterways, including Spring Brook and Black Brook, feed into a dense concentration of water bodies that supported the early development of the region's recreational and agricultural character.

Genealogists will find the Big Sand Lake Cem near the shores of Big Sand Lake, illustrating the proximity of early settlements to the area's primary natural resources. The map also traces the North Fork Clam River as it moves through a complex of wetlands and smaller lakes like Pokegama Lake and Bashaw Lake. The intricate road network, featuring names like Normans Landing Rd and Eagle Feather Dr, reveals how modern residential access has been etched into the historical lakefront geography.
