About this map

Trade Lake and the surrounding lake country of northwestern Wisconsin are meticulously detailed in this contemporary study of the Burnett and Polk county border. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of water bodies including Big Trade Lake, Spirit Lake, and the winding Wood River. Smaller settlements like Atlas and Four Corners anchor the rural road system, which follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as the Union Cem near Gabrielson Lake Rd. Cultural heritage is noted at the southern edge of the map with the marking of an Indian Mound near Long Trade Lake. The transition between the two counties is marked by the Trade River, which flows through a landscape of wetlands and lakes like Freedom Lakes and Round Lake, reflecting the region's enduring character as a timber and recreation corridor.
