About this map

Mount Morris and the surrounding Waushara County landscape are defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and small-scale water management projects. At the northern edge, the Mount Morris 3WR1972 Dam regulates the flow from Lake Morris into Porters Creek, while further south, the Fish Lake 2WP6 Dam and Alpine Lake 3WR471 Dam manage the levels of Irogami Lake and Alpine Lake. These water bodies, along with Silver Lake and Johns Lake, have shaped the local recreational and residential geography, evident in the named landforms like Chicago Point and Fox Tail Point.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of Marion Cemetery and Raymond Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the area's rural heritage. The settlement at Spring Lake and the presence of Camp Lucerne near Lake Lucerne highlight the region's long-standing role as a summer destination. Aviation interest is noted at the Spring Creek Airport, while the meandering paths of Willow Creek and Bruce Creek illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have historically influenced road placement, such as County Hwy G and County Hwy Rd W.
