Harper Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Marinette County with published numbers of about 14 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, which gives you a much better starting point than trying to read too much into a satellite view.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Harper Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Harper Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
