1982 Map of Pine Dells

About this map

The Prairie River and Pine River carve through this section of Lincoln County, defining a landscape where public lands and rural community life intersect. In the north, the Prairie River State Public Hunting Grounds occupies a significant portion of the terrain near Merrill and Schley. The map documents a well-distributed network of local heritage sites, including several religious centers and burial grounds such as Trinity Cem, St James Cem, and Calvary Ch. Small-scale industrial activity is evident in the numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the township, while the winding courses of Barnes Creek and Little Trappe River suggest the drainage patterns that have historically shaped local agriculture and land use in this part of Wisconsin.
