About this map

Indian Creek sits at the heart of this northwestern Wisconsin landscape, where the borders of Polk, Burnett, and Barron counties meet. The area is characterized by a high density of small glacial lakes and wetlands, including Spencer Lake and Little Bass Lake in the north, and Denny Lake further south. The Clam River and its N Fork wind through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region.

Settlement patterns are reflected in the rural road grid and local landmarks like the Corpus Christi Catholic Church and its accompanying Cem. The historic Lorain Cem serves as a marker of the community's genealogy, while the Ice Age National Scenic Trl traverses the southern half of the quadrangle, following the undulations of the post-glacial topography. The map detail highlights the persistent intersection of agricultural land and native water features that defines this tri-county corner.
