2016 Map of Shieldsville

About this map

Shieldsville and the surrounding Rice County lake country are defined by a dense network of glacial basins and interconnected waterways. The Cannon River winds through the center of the sheet, linking Hunt Lake and Wells Lake, while larger bodies like Shields Lake, Mazaska Lake, and French Lake dominate the northern half of the landscape. These water bodies, along with smaller features such as Weinberger Lake and Caron Lake, create a fragmented terrain where roads like Co Hwy 37 and Co Rd 71 must navigate narrow land bridges between the shorelines. At the southern edge, the settlement of Warsaw sits near the banks of Wells Lake, marking a localized center of activity. The abundance of named roads, including Camp Winona Trl and French Lake Trl, suggests a landscape heavily utilized for recreation and residential access to the waterfronts.
