2013 Map of Strickland

About this map

Strickland and Lehigh serve as the primary focal points of this Barron County landscape, where the rural grid of the early 21st century meets a network of meandering waterways. The topography is defined by the winding course of Moose Ear Cr, which flows southward toward Coudray Lake, and the dramatic incision of Gundys Canyon near Rock Cr in the north. The presence of Old Highway 14 alongside the modern corridor of Us-8 indicates the evolution of local transit, while namesake roads like Slack Rd, Log Cabin Rd, and Romanowski Ln hint at the family lineages and local histories tied to these agricultural lands. To the east, the basin of Big Bowker Lake and its smaller neighbor Little Bowker Lake add distinct hydrological features to this pocket of Wisconsin's glacial terrain, documented here just after the turn of the decade.
