2010 Map of Quam Lake

About this map

Saint Petri Cemetery and Frykesende Cemetery stand as primary genealogical landmarks in this lake-rich pocket of Douglas County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial basins and waterways, including Jennie Lake, Quam Lake, and Lake Venus. Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by specific infrastructure like the Chippewa River Fish Barrier Dam and the Jennie Lake Flowage Fish Barrier Dam, which regulate the flow of the Chippewa River. While the Central Lakes Trl and roads like County Hwy-55 NW provide modern access, the distribution of family-named water bodies such as Thorson Lake, Barsness Lake, and Lake Thorstad reflects the early settlement patterns of the region's farming families.
