About this map

Trade River and Branstad anchor this portion of the Burnett and Polk County border, where the Wisconsin landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and glacial lakes. The waterway of the Trade River and its N Fork Trade River meander through the central terrain, supporting a series of managed waters including Daniels Flowage and Canute Cr Flowage. These flowages, along with Dueholm Flowage and Logging Cr Flowage 6, suggest a history of local water management for agriculture or habitat within the township system of T37N and T38N.

Local history is preserved at sites like Saint Olaf Cem and Logging Creek Cem, while family-named roads such as Jimmy Carter Rd and S Williams Rd grid the countryside. The presence of the Circle T Airport near the center of the quadrangle indicates modern utility amidst the traditional rural layout of timber and water. Large natural bodies like Big Trade Lake and Holmes Lake stand as permanent landmarks in a region characterized by its transition from the Wolf Cr headwaters to the broader river systems of the north.
