2019 Map of Shieldsville

About this map

Shieldsville serves as the central hub of this lake-strewn landscape in Rice County, where a complex network of waterways defines the local geography. The area is dominated by large basins including French Lake, Cedar Lake, and Rice Lake, many of which are connected by the meandering path of the Cannon River. This glacial terrain is marked by a high density of wetlands and smaller bodies of water like Hunt Lake and Caron Lake, creating a fragmented yet interconnected environment. The road system, including Shieldsville Blvd and Co Hwy 10, navigates between these natural barriers, following the high ground around Mazaska Lake and Shields Lake. In the southern reaches, the map records the presence of Wells Lake and the drainage of Devil Cr, illustrating the vital role of the Cannon River watershed in the region's physical layout.
