About this map

The Apple River meanders through this Polk County landscape, connecting a dense network of glacial lakes including Big Blake Lake, White Ash Lake, and the smaller Beautiful Lake. The settlement of Range sits at the intersection of local routes, while the community of Bunyan serves as a northern landmark. This 2010 survey reflects a rural environment where land use is dictated by the hydrography, seen in the placement of Ridler Dam and the various creeks feeding the river system.

For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds that mark the heritage of the area, such as Georgetown Cemetery, Union Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Elim Cemetery. The grid of numbered roads, including Mains Crossing Ave and Bunyan Ave, provides a clear spatial reference for locating 21st-century property boundaries and historical family farmsteads near water bodies like Chelstrom Lake and Shiloh Lake.
