2013 Map of Big Briens Lake

About this map

Big Briens Lake and its smaller neighbor, Little Briens Lake, anchor the central terrain of this Price County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Douglas Creek and Knox Cr, which feed into the meandering course of the South Fork Jump River in the north. The rural character of the region is reflected in a grid of local roads often bearing the names of early resident families, such as Knewtson Rd, Lustila Rd, and Nyberg Hill Rd. Bisecting the quadrangle, Us-8 serves as the primary east-west corridor, connecting these timbered tracts and glacial waters. To the northwest, Moyle Lake 35 sits near the river's edge, highlighting the marshy transition zones that characterize this portion of northern Wisconsin during the early twenty-first century.
