About this map

The glacial lake district of Rice County defines this 2010 survey, centered on the settlement of Shieldsville. The landscape is dominated by an intricate chain of water bodies, including Shields Lake, French Lake, and Mazaska Lake, which serve as the primary geographical anchors for the region. The Cannon River flows through the western portion of the sheet, where the Rice Lake Dam regulates the waters of Rice Lake.

Transport patterns are characterized by a grid of local roads and family-named routes such as Dodd Rd and Fairbanks Path, which navigate around the significant wetland areas of Caron Lake and Cedar Lake. This map captures the area as it transitioned into the 21st century, showing the established rural road network that connects these numerous lakes, including smaller features like Weinberger Lake and Willing Lake. Researchers can trace the legacy of early regional travel through named trails such as the Camp Winona Trl and Hunt Lake Trl.
