About this map

The Wisconsin River and its major tributaries, including the New Wood River, Copper River, and Little Rib River, converge in this corner of Lincoln County near the city of Merrill. The landscape is dominated by complex hydrology, from the wide waters of Alexander Lake to the protected wetlands of Baggs Marsh. High points like Ninemile Hill and Snow Hill provide contrast to the low-lying river valleys.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including Saint Pauls Cemetery, Snow Hill Cemetery, and the Methodist Cemetery further south. The map illustrates a developed rural infrastructure of numbered county roads and named lanes such as Ollhoff Road and Tesch Road, serving a landscape of dispersed farmsteads and active natural resource sites like the Gravel Pit near Gravel Pit Lane.
