About this map

The settlement of Poskin serves as the central hub for this portion of Barron County, where the Vermillion River meanders through a landscape defined by glacial topography and agricultural section lines. This 2022 survey captures a rural Wisconsin community anchored by its spiritual and historical landmarks, including the Poskin Lutheran Cem and Saint Lukes Cem to the north. The drainage patterns are a primary feature of the terrain, with Poskin Lake and the smaller Crystal Bay Lake providing local points of interest alongside the winding course of the Hay River and the Yellow River.

A precise grid of county roads and avenues, such as Co Hwy T and 14th Ave, facilitates movement between the scattered farmsteads and natural basins like Sweeney Pond. For researchers, the presence of several established cemeteries, such as Ebenezer Cem and First Lutheran Cem, offers significant genealogical value, anchoring family names to the specific townships and ranges of this Upper Midwest countryside.
