About this map

Starbuck anchors the northern landscape of this Pope County quadrangle, situated on the southwestern shores of Lake Minnewaska. The town's grid is dense with residential and commercial streets, including an Industrial Park to the northwest and the Starbuck Municipal Airport to the south. Three local burial grounds—Minnewaska Cem, Fron Cem, and Bethany Cem—provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this prairie and lake region.

Water and terrain define the surrounding rural area, from the winding Little Chippewa River to the prominent rise of the Blue Mounds in the southeast. An intricate drainage system, including County Ditch Number Two, Outlet Cr, and Signalness Cr, crisscrosses the farmland, eventually feeding into Lake Emily. Landmarks like Barsness Point suggest the long-standing recreational and geographic significance of the shoreline to the local community.
