About this map

The Apple River windsthrough this portion of Polk County, feeding into substantial impoundments such as Shiloh Flowage 151 and Apple River Flowage 134. The landscape is characterized by a high density of glacial lakes, including the prominent Big Blake Lake and Little Blake Lake in the north, and the central White Ash Lake. Small settlements like Range, Bunyan, and Fox Creek serve as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural and recreational lands. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Saint Marys Cem, Elim Cem, and Georgetown Cem, which are scattered among the township lines. The mapping of Townline Lake and Chelstrom Lake illustrates the natural drainage patterns of the region, where numerous small water bodies are connected by creeks like Rice-Bed Creek and the southern flow of the river system.
