About this map

Glacial topography and early 20th-century logging remnants define this Lincoln County landscape, centered on the settlement of Harrison. The terrain is dominated by a dense network of kettle lakes and wetlands, including Alice Lake, Bughouse Lake, and Crane Foot Lake. The presence of the Green Grade and an Old RR Gr underscores the region's industrial heritage, tracing the paths of former logging railroads that once moved timber through these woods.

Elevated landmarks like Porcupine Mountain rise above the basin of Big Pine Creek and the Prairie River, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding marshlands. Local civic life is anchored by the Townhall in the western township, while the Otter Lake Recreation Area points to the area's transition toward seasonal use. Researchers will find numerous family-named roads such as Wagonmaker Lane and Gouda Road that mark the established rural infrastructure of the early 1980s.
