2015 Map of Strickland

About this map

Blue Hills and the winding course of Moose Ear Creek define the geography of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the border of Barron and Rusk counties meets. Small settlements like Strickland, Lehigh, and Horseman are connected by a grid of rural avenues and county highways, including CO Hwy C. The map provides specific detail for local historians, showing the location of the Assumption Cemetery and numerous family-named natural landmarks such as Gundys Canyon. Drainage patterns are well-defined by a network of waterways including Rock Creek, German Creek, and Tenmile Creek, which flow through the forested and agricultural terrain. Lake features such as Big Bowker Lake and Little Bowker Lake offer insights into the glacial topography of the region, while the township and range lines mark the historical land division system used for settling this portion of the state.
