About this map

Spirit anchors this north-central Wisconsin landscape where Price, Lincoln, and Taylor counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Spirit River and its N Fork, as well as the Center Fork New Wood River. The local road system reflects the area's immigrant heritage and rural industry, evidenced by the intersection of N German Settlement Rd and S German Settlement Rd, as well as Cheese Factory Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Hillcrest Cem near the center of the township. The presence of the Ozz Reservoir and numerous named creeks like Squaw Cr, Ritchie Cr, and Marheine Cr illustrates the hydrology of the Wisconsin northwoods. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where family-named routes like Hilmer Olson Rd and Sunwall Rd connect isolated homesteads and timberlands.
