About this map

The Vermillion River winds through this section of Barron County, anchoring a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and agricultural grid. The settlement of Poskin sits at a crossroads near the southern shore of Poskin Lake, surrounded by a network of rural cemeteries including Ebenezer Cem, Saint Lukes Cem, and the Poskin Lutheran Cem. These small burial grounds, often associated with early local congregations, serve as important markers for genealogists tracing family histories in the Arland area.

Water features dominate the eastern half of the quadrangle, where the Yellow River meets the Barron Flowage. The terrain is further etched by smaller tributaries like Eagle Cr and Quaderer Cr, alongside still waters such as Crystal Bay Lake and Sweeney Pond. A rigid system of numbered avenues, from 20th Ave down to 12th Ave, structures the movement between the wetland pockets and the high ground of the surrounding townships.
