1978 Map of Alexander Lake

About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this Lincoln County landscape, widening significantly at Alexander Lake and the Alexander Dam. The map reveals a transition between the developed Merrill corporate boundary and the surrounding rural townships of Harding, Rock Falls, and Corning. To the west, the vast Bagga Marsh and a dedicated Cranberry Bog signify the region's specialized agricultural and wetland heritage. Local social centers are anchored by landmarks such as the Townhall, the Scott Sch, and several rural churches including St Pauls Ch. The presence of several family-named roads, like Joe Snow Road and Ohloff Avenue, alongside the Methodist Cem and Snow Hill Cem, provides a detailed geographic record for genealogists researching the area's mid-century rural community structure.
