About this map

Glacial geography dominates the landscape around Luck and Milltown in this contemporary Polk County survey. The area is defined by a dense cluster of kettle lakes and drainage systems, most notably the expansive Bone Lake to the east and the central Big Butternut Lake. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through the northern and western sections of the quadrangle, following the undulating terrain of the glacial moraine past Straight Lake and the S Br Trade River.

For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several community landmarks, including the Luck Village Cem and the Saint Peters Lutheran Cem. Smaller water bodies like Antler Lake, Murdock Lake, and Hall Moon Lake are interspersed with a regular grid of county roads, showing the persistent rural character of the region. The presence of Bald Eagle Island within Bone Lake and the scattered wetlands surrounding Rice Lake highlight the complex hydrography of the northwestern Wisconsin lake country.
