About this map

Wapogasset Lake and its neighbor Bear Trap Lake dominate this portion of Polk County, where the intricate shoreline and several islands like Wallace Island define the local landscape. The surrounding terrain is a mosaic of smaller water bodies such as Ox Lake, Busswood Lake, and Mud Lake, connected by the winding course of the Apple River as it flows south toward Little Falls. The distribution of residential roads like Sunrise Beach Dr and Rumpca Dr along the lakefronts illustrates the importance of these waters for local recreation and settlement.

Small communities and rural centers anchor the agricultural grid, including the hamlets of Wanderoos, Deronda, and the northwestern edge of Amery. For those researching local family history, the map preserves the locations of the Travelers Rest Cem and Lincoln Cem, alongside modern infrastructure like the Amery Municipal Airport. This area maintains a balance between lakeside development and the traditional township layout established by a network of numbered avenues and county highways.
