About this map

The northern reaches of the Wisconsin lake country are defined by an intricate network of glacial basins and watercourses spanning the boundary between Burnett Co and Washburn Co. At the heart of this landscape lies a chain of major water bodies including McKenzie Lake, Middle McKenzie Lake, and Lower McKenzie Lake, which are linked by the winding course of McKenzie Creek. This 2018 survey reveals the development of seasonal and year-round properties clustered around these shores, served by a local road network featuring names like Nicaboyne Lake Rd and Lakewood RD.

A notable landmark on the western edge is the Alpha Hotel Airport, situated near the Sacred Hearts Cem. The map further documents numerous smaller basins such as Nicaboyne Lake, Rooney Lake, and Benoit Lake, illustrating the high density of glacial lakes that characterize this region. To the southwest, the Yellow River flows through a landscape dotted with wetlands and smaller pools like Rice Lake and Lipsett Lake.
