2015 Map of Indian Creek

About this map

Indian Creek and the neighboring settlement of Lorain anchor this rural landscape where the borders of Polk, Burnett, and Barron counties meet. The area is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of water bodies including Spencer Lake, Bass Lake, and the winding N Fork Clam River. For researchers of regional topography and recreation, a significant portion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail is mapped here as it meanders through the glacial terrain between 330th Ave and 310th Ave. Local history is grounded in sites like the Lorain Cem, while the grid of family-named roads like Styles Rd and Root Rd illustrates the enduring agricultural property patterns of the early 21st century. The map also captures the headwaters of Sand Cr and the marshy margins of Upper Waterman Lake in the southeastern corner.
