2022 Map of Moose Ear Lake

About this map

Moose Ear Lake and the surrounding glacial terrain define this portion of Barron County, where complex waterways connect into the larger Lake Chetek system. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of kettle lakes and meandering streams, including Tenmile Creek and Beaver Creek, which drain toward the larger reservoirs to the west. Evidence of rural life and local history is anchored by sites like the Johnson Cem and the Twin Lakes Cem, located near the tri-county boundary where Barron, Rusk, and Chippewa counties meet. Smaller bodies of water such as Koehler Lake, Jacobson Lake, and Beauty Lake are scattered among a grid of section-line roads, illustrating the persistent agricultural and recreational character of the region. The inclusion of the Cloud Dancer Private Airport near the northern reaches of Tenmile Lake highlights the modern aviation presence in this otherwise quiet lake country.
