About this map

Yellow Lake and the Little Yellow Lake basin dominate this landscape in Burnett County, where the St. Croix Wild and Scenic River forms a natural boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. This 2019 survey captures the developed waterfront and the surrounding network of local access roads that define the area's modern character. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on sites such as Bluff Lake Cem and Perida Cem, while the southern portion of the map includes the edge of Webster.

The hydrography of the region is notably complex, featuring the Clam River winding through the southern wetlands and the Danbury Flowage to the north. These water bodies, along with smaller features like Bluff Lake and Kuhn Lake, create a fragmented terrain of marshes and peninsulas. Distinctive landmarks such as the Ice House Bridge and the elevation of Pease Hill provide specific points of interest for researchers tracing the geography of the Saint Croix Riverway.
