About this map

Merrillan sits at a critical hydrologic junction where the E Fork Halls Cr and S Fork Halls Cr converge, creating a landscape defined by intricate watercourses and distinct topographical rises. This 2015 survey illustrates the town's position north of the Black River, surrounded by a series of prominent elevations including Bruce Mound, Stanley Mound, and the northern Trow Mounds. The presence of Oakwood Lake and Trow Lake adjacent to the main settlement area indicates the historical importance of water management and recreation in this part of Jackson County.

Further southeast, the community of Hatfield marks the edge of the Lower Backwater of the Black River. The map details a network of rural routes such as Gaylord Rd and Railroad Rd, which link scattered homesteads to the central village and local landmarks like Oakwood Cem. This geography reflects a modern era of rural Wisconsin life, where the terrain’s natural mounds continue to dictate the placement of roads and property lines across the county border into Clark County.
