About this map

Rice Lake sits at the northern edge of this Barron County landscape, where the Red Cedar River flows through a series of significant glacial water bodies. The settlement pattern follows a clear transition from the urban grid of the city to the unincorporated community of Canton and the village of Cameron to the south. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds such as Orchard Beach Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and the remote Pioneer Rest Cem.

Water dominates the topography, from the expanse of Prairie Lake at the southern boundary to Lake Montanis and Moon Lake near the center of the sheet. The eastern portion of the map rises into the Blue Hills, where the terrain becomes more complex and is drained by several seasonal streams like Silver Cr and Rock Cr. This 2022 survey captures the contemporary road network and land divisions that have defined the region's agricultural and residential character for decades.
