About this map

The Yellow River meanders through this portion of Burnett and Washburn counties, defining a landscape dominated by glacial lakes and tributary streams. In the early 21st century, the area remains characterized by its dense network of water bodies, including Rice Lake, Lipsett Lake, and the map's namesake, Poquettes Lake. These lakes are connected by a grid of rural roads and tracks such as Indian Mounds Rd and Mail Rd, which suggest the historical paths used for local transit and communication.

The drainage patterns of Bashaw Brook and Montgomery Cr in the southern half of the quadrangle illustrate the low-lying, riparian nature of the terrain. Development is primarily concentrated along the shorelines of the larger lakes and the primary corridor of State Road 70. For those researching local geography or land use, the map provides precise locations for family-named landmarks and local thoroughfares like Carlton Rd and Jellen Rd.
