About this map

Yellow Lake and its smaller neighbor, Little Yellow Lake, anchor this Burnett County landscape where river systems and sprawling wetlands converge. The Saint Croix River forms a significant natural boundary to the northwest, protected here as part of the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. This water-rich environment is defined by the complex drainage of the Yellow River, Clam River, and Dody Brook, which support numerous smaller basins like Buffalo Lake, Bass Lake, and Bluff Lake.

Cultural landmarks and small settlements are scattered across the terrain, including Danbury at the northeastern corner and Webster to the southeast. Genealogists and local historians can locate Bluff Lake Cem and Perida Cem, while the Ice House Bridge over the Clam River highlights localized river crossings. The map details an extensive network of rural routes, such as Co Rd F and Co Hwy U, that connect these lakeside communities.
