About this map

Upper and Lower Vermillion Lake anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial basins and the winding Yellow River. In this part of Barron County, the 2010 landscape reflects a mix of aviation infrastructure at the Cumberland Municipal Airport and long-standing local landmarks like the East Cumberland Cemetery. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of named water bodies, ranging from the large Butternut Lake in the north to smaller, curiously named basins like Big Dummy Lake and Little Dummy Lake.

The presence of Rainbow Ranch Camp and Grant Park suggests the region's role as a recreational destination, while the grid of numbered avenues and streets—such as 23rd Ave and 10th St—illustrates the organized agricultural and residential layout of the Wisconsin countryside. This survey captures a moment where natural waterways like Hickey Creek and Peterson Lake coexist with the modern development surrounding the city of Cumberland.
