About this map

The Apple River meanders through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and small rural settlements in this part of Polk County. The hamlet of Range sits near the southern boundary, while the smaller points of Fox Creek and Bunyan are situated in the north. This area is characterized by a significant number of family and community burial grounds, including the Georgetown Cem, Holy Rosary Cem, and Elim Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing the local family histories of this Wisconsin countryside.

Water is a dominant feature of the terrain, with substantial bodies like White Ash Lake, Townline Lake, and Shiloh Lake dotting the township lines. The road network follows a strict grid of avenues and streets, such as 150th Ave and 60th St, which intersect the natural flow of Rice Bed Creek and various unnamed wetlands. This pattern of settlement suggests a long-standing agricultural base preserved even as the landscape remains rich with inland lakes and tributary streams.
