About this map

Timms Hill, Wisconsin's highest natural point, anchors this topographical record of the Northwoods during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, characterized by a dense concentration of kettle lakes and knobs. Named peaks like Pearson Hill and Spokes Hill rise above a complex network of waterways, including the interconnected basins of Timms Lake, Pearson Lake, and Bass Lake. The map reveals a sparsely populated region primarily utilized for recreation and resource extraction, with numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the Price and Taylor county line.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated around the larger water bodies, notably at Spirit Park along the shores of Spirit Lake. The presence of the Garden of Memory Cemetery and several Lookout Towers suggests a mix of local community focal points and forest management infrastructure. The transition from the Hill to Spirit townships is marked by winding secondary roads like Forest Drive and Jacobson Road, which navigate the marshy terrain and smaller pools such as Thirtyfive Lakes and Alcohol Creek.
