1966 Map of Merrill
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Wisconsin River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, winding past the regional hub of Merrill and south through the industrial corridor of Brokaw. Near the city, Council Grounds State Park and Alexander Lake mark significant recreational landmarks, while the river's power is managed by several Gaging Stations. The confluence of the Pine River and Prairie River illustrates the importance of the waterways for both transport and utility during this period, supported by the Chicago and North Western and Milwaukee Road railways. Rural life in Lincoln and Marathon Counties is well-documented through small settlements like Taegesville and the industrial activity at Granite Heights. Numerous local institutions, such as St Paul Sch and the Maple Grove Cem, provide essential details for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots in the township of Maine and beyond.
