About this map

Wapogasset Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this portion of Polk County, where the landscape is defined by the glacial legacy of countless kettle lakes and marshy lowlands. The settlement of Wanderoos sits to the west, while Deronda and Little Falls occupy the central and southern reaches near the Apple River. This river corridor was historically significant for the regional timber and milling industries, and here it winds through a terrain dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including Deronda Cem, Travelers Rest Cem, and Lincoln Cem.

The presence of the Stower Seven Lakes State Trl cutting across the center of the sheet reflects the repurposing of old railroad corridors into modern recreational paths. To the east, the outskirts of Amery and the Amery Municipal Airport mark the edge of a larger municipal hub. The map captures a high level of detail in residential development along the lakefronts, particularly around Bear Trap Lake and Wallace Island, illustrating the transition from rural farming tracts to a concentrated lakeside community.
