About this map

Holy Hill rises as a prominent landmark in the north, overlooking a landscape defined by its complex glacial hydrology. The village of Merton and the settlement of Monches are positioned along the winding courses of the Oconomowoc River and Bark River. Historically significant impoundments like Monches Millpond 38, Merton Millpond 26, and Funks Millpond illustrate the early industrial reliance on local water power.

Agricultural heritage is evident through several named farms such as Hill View Farms and Stapleton Farms, while more modern land use is reflected in the presence of the Erin Aero Airport and the private Doering Farms Airfield. Recreation and conservation are also central to the area, shown through Camp Whitcomb on the shores of Lake Keesus and the path of the Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl, which meanders through the undulating terrain past Lowes Lake and Hickey Lake.
