About this map

The Yellow River meanders through this portion of Burnett County and Washburn County, defining a landscape of glacial lakes and wetlands. The terrain is notably water-rich, featuring significant bodies like Rice Lake, Lipsett Lake, and Glendenning Lake. This area of northwest Wisconsin maintains a low density of settlement, represented here by local landmarks such as Greendale Cem and several family-named roads.

A network of country roads, including Co HWY H and Co HWY A, connects scattered homesteads and lakefronts. Cultural markers like Indian Mounds Rd suggest an ancient human presence in the area, while names like Bashaw Trout Springs point to the local ecology and natural resources. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of smaller waterways such as Bashaw Brook and Montgomery Cr as they feed into the larger river system.
