About this map

Evansville sits at the northern edge of this glacial landscape, where the Chippewa River meanders through a dense collection of prairie potholes and larger basins. This Douglas County terrain is defined by its water, from the centrally located Jennie Lake and Amos Lake to the southern waters of Quam Lake and Lake Venus. The map reveals a land divided by the Public Land Survey System, with a regular grid of rural roads such as Co Rd 56 NW and Fryksande Rd NW navigating around the numerous wetlands.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks scattered throughout the townships, including the Saint Petri Cem near the eastern boundary and the Frykesende Cem to the west. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Central Lakes State Trl, which follows a former rail corridor across the northern sections, passing south of Fanny Lake. The proximity of named water bodies like Barsness Lake and Holleque Lake illustrates the region's complex hydrology and its long-standing importance for local drainage and recreation.
