About this map

The Yellow River winds through a dense network of glacial lakes in this Barron County landscape, defining the local geography as it flows southward through the center of the sheet. The area is characterized by an intricate system of water bodies, ranging from the prominent Silver Lake and Upper Vermillion Lake to smaller, distinctively named basins like Pea Viner Lake, Big Dummy Lake, and Lake Thirty. Human activity is concentrated along the section-line road grid and at specific recreational or utility sites, such as Grant Park on the eastern shore of Silver Lake and the Rainbow Ranch Camp further south.

The southwest corner of the map reveals the logistical infrastructure of the region with the Cumberland Municipal Airport situated near the shores of Lower Vermillion Lake. The map illustrates a rural Wisconsin environment where agriculture and woodland are interspersed with waterfront developments and small community landmarks, providing a clear record of land use and property divisions between the many lakes like Kelly Lake and Hogback Lake.
