1979 Map of Timms Hill

About this map

Timms Hill, the highest point in Wisconsin, dominates this landscape within the Northwoods of Price and Taylor Counties. The terrain is defined by its glacial history, evidenced by a dense network of kettle lakes including Thirtyfive Lakes, Spirit Lake, and Hultman Lake. Human presence is marked by scattered landmarks like the Garden of Memory Church and its associated cemetery, alongside several hilltop towers used for observation and communication. The map captures the area before modern development significantly altered the timber and recreational character of the township boundaries of Prentice, Hill, and Spirit. Significant waterways like the North Fork Spirit River and Mondeaux Creek drain the surrounding marshes and highlands, while local activity is concentrated near resource sites such as several Gravel Pits and public access points like Spirit Park.
