About this map

Hertel sits at the heart of this Burnett County landscape, where the waters of the Yellow River and the North Fork Clam River define the local topography. This region is characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, ranging from the expansive Big Sand Lake to smaller bodies like Warner Lake, Buck Lake, and Pokegama Lake. The settlement pattern follows a grid of county highways and local roads, such as Co Hwy X and Bashaw Lake Rd, which connect the scattered rural homesteads and lakeside properties.

Local history is anchored by sites like the Big Sand Lake Cem and Lakeview Cem, providing vital reference points for genealogists. The map also traces the winding courses of Spring Brook and Bashaw Brook as they navigate the low-lying terrain between wooded ridges. This 2022 survey offers a clear look at the contemporary land use and hydrography of the township, capturing the persistent character of Wisconsin's lake country.
