2010 Map of McKinley

About this map

McKinley sits as the central hub of this Wisconsin landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways dictates the local geography. Large bodies of water like Pipe Lake and Largon Lake dominate the terrain, connected by the paths of Sucker Creek and Staples Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural interior transition, where the grid of county roads—such as Polk Barron St and County Line St—navigates around numerous smaller basins like Wintergreen Lake, Ember Lake, and Martel Lake. The map reveals a community defined by its relationship to the water, shown through the clusters of development near the lakeshores and the presence of Morts Landing Airport in the southeastern quadrant. Researchers can observe how the residential and agricultural layout is heavily influenced by the irregular shoreline of Lake of the Woods and the wetlands surrounding Blueberry Lake.
