About this map

The settlement of Bloomville serves as the focal point of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Prairie River and its various tributaries define the geography. The presence of the Prairie Dell Dam and the smaller Doering E12.129 Dam illustrates the historical and contemporary management of local waterways for reservoir storage, such as the 0.9 Reservoir. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Saint Johns Cemetery and Luther Memorial Cemetery useful for tracing family roots in this rural portion of Lincoln County.

A constellation of glacial lakes and ponds, including Copper Lake, Luecks Lake, and Lokemoen Lake, dots the terrain west of the main river branches. These water bodies, along with smaller creeks like Big Hay Meadow Creek and Kippenberg Creek, suggest a landscape historically tied to timber and recreation. The map meticulously records the drainage patterns and small-scale infrastructure that have shaped the rural character of this region into the early twenty-first century.
