2022 Map of Yellow Lake

About this map

The Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway dominates the northwest corner of this map, following the winding path of the Saint Croix River along the border with Minnesota. This lake-rich region of Wisconsin's northern interior is defined by glacial waters and river basins, where the Yellow River feeds into the expansive Yellow Lake and the adjacent Little Yellow Lake. The landscape transition from riverine wetlands to higher ground is marked by features like Pease Hill and the Danbury Flowage. Genealogists and local historians can find family history markers at the Bluff Lake Cem and Perida Cem, while the road network—including Chase Fire Ln and Icehouse Bridge Rd—illustrates the rural character of the area surrounding Webster. The map captures a moment in the modern management of these wild waterways, documenting the preserved wilderness alongside established lakeside settlements.
