About this map

Glacial lakes dominate this portion of Pope County, defining the local landscape and the settlement patterns around Villard. This village, home to the Villard Post Office, is positioned at the intersection of County Hwy-28 and Washington Ave, serving as a central hub between Leven Lake and Villard Lake. The area's genealogical history is well-documented through a concentration of burial grounds, including Lake Leven Cemetery to the north and the clustered Lake Amelia Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery further south near the shores of Amelia Lake.

Water management is a defining characteristic of this rural terrain, evidenced by the extensive network of engineered waterways such as Judicial Ditch Number Four and County Ditch Number Twenty-eight. These features, along with the East Branch Chippewa River, support the agricultural lands that surround the Glenwood Municipal Airport in the southwest. The grid of township roads and county highways provides clear markers for researchers tracing family farmsteads and rural property boundaries near Alice Lake and Rice Lake.
