About this map

The Prairie River and Pine River systems converge in this section of northern Wisconsin, where the border of Lincoln County and Langlade County divides a landscape of water and woodland. A notable concentration of immigrant history is evident here, marked by the presence of the Estonian Cem and Latvian Cem south of the Dudley crossroads. These sites, along with the Gleason Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogists tracing Baltic settlement patterns in the Upper Midwest.

Transportation and utility are defined by a network of rural routes like Co Hwy J and Co Rd CCC, connecting the primary settlement at Gleason to the outlying timber and marshlands. Small water bodies including McGinnis Lake, Burlock Lake, and Echo Lake dot the northwest, while the Haymeadow Airport serves as a remote aviation outpost. The mapping of Big Hay Meadow Cr and its tributaries highlights the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped the local timber and agricultural economy.
