About this map

The settlement of Harrison anchors this northern Wisconsin landscape, characterized by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes and varying elevations. The topographic relief is most pronounced in the Harrison Hills and near Porcupine Mountain, creating a complex network of internal drainages and high points. Water is the defining element of the region, with the North Branch Prairie River flowing south and Big Pine Creek meandering through the northern reaches.

Evidence of local water management is visible at the Lloyd Hilgendorf G-9001 Dam, which regulates the flow among the numerous named water bodies like Gerbick Lake, Miller Lake, and Ebert Lake. For the genealogist or local historian, this map clarifies the spatial relationships between individual family-named landmarks and the vast hydrological system that shaped the settlement patterns of Lincoln County at the turn of the 21st century.
