About this map

Mount Morris rises above a landscape defined by glacial lakes and winding waterways in this early 1960s survey of Waushara County. The settlement of Lohrville sits near the southeastern corner, where the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts across the terrain, serving the local stone industry visible in several quarries and a quarry near the village. A network of rural institutions, including Mountain View Sch, Holden Ch, and Marion Cem, anchors the scattered homesteads and farming communities.

Water is the dominant geographic feature, ranging from the large Irogami Lake and Silver Lake to the more secluded Johns Lake and Lake Lucerne, which hosts Camp Lucerne. The hydrography is complex, with Willow Creek and Porters Creek feeding into various basins, while the White River flows through the southwest. Distinctive landmarks like Chicago Point and Fox Tail Pt provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history or early property boundaries in this central Wisconsin lake country.
