2023 Map of Spirit Falls

About this map

Spirit Falls sits near the confluence of Spirit Creek and the Spirit River in this northern Lincoln County landscape. The topography is defined by complex wetland systems and glacial drainage patterns, including the eastward-flowing Somo River and the secluded Krueger Lake to the south. Local history is anchored at the Spirit Falls Cem, while the surrounding sections are crisscrossed by a network of rural roads like Phalzgraff RD and Ross RD. The map reveals a modern balance between remote wilderness and accessibility, as indicated by the extensive Snowmobile Trl that winds through the wooded townships. This modern survey from the U.S. Geological Survey captures the persisting rural character of the Northwoods, where small watercourses like Paupauke Creek and Krueger Creek drain into the larger river systems that once supported the region's timber heritage.
