About this map

McKinley sits at the heart of this northwestern Wisconsin landscape, where the boundary between Polk and Barron counties defines the eastern edge of the township. The area is dominated by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including the large Pipe Lake and its northern neighbor North Pipe Lake, which feed into the surrounding wetlands. This environment shaped a settlement pattern of small lakeside communities and localized landmarks like Mort's Landing on the shores of Staples Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find the McKinley Cemetery centrally located near Grenquist Lake, serving the rural residents who established homesteads along the grid of avenues and county roads such as County Road G. From the flowing Clam River in the northwest to the secluded Snowshoe Lake, the geography illustrates the persistent reliance on these water resources for recreation and local industry in this part of the state.
