About this map

The confluence of the Wisconsin River and the Prairie River anchors the city of Merrill, where the urban grid gives way to the marshy lowlands and lakes of Lincoln County. This modern topographic perspective reveals the persistent importance of the river systems, which are joined by smaller tributaries like Devil Cr and Little Hog-Muddy Cr. The civic landscape is well-defined by the Lincoln County Courthouse and numerous community landmarks including the Merrill Municipal Airport and the R & S Landing Strip to the northwest.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed documentation of local burial grounds, including the Saint John Cem, Park Cem, and the Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Cem. The surrounding township structure, delineated by routes such as Merrill Town Hall Rd and Co Rd G, illustrates the transition from the concentrated city center to the rural lakeside properties around Lake Pesobic and Gospel Lake.
