2010 Map of Black Brook

About this map

The Vilas Lookout Tower stands as a prominent navigational landmark in this north-central Wisconsin landscape, where the geography is defined by a complex network of streams and man-made water management features. The terrain is drained by several significant watercourses, including the winding path of Black Brook, the Pine River, and the West Branch Eau Claire River. To the south, the influence of hydraulic engineering is evident through a series of named dams such as the Langlade County Flowage Dam and several private or municipal structures like the Motl 2 Dam. For local historians and genealogists, the Peck Cemetery in the northern reaches provides a specific point of interest for family research. This digital-era survey illustrates how modern infrastructure and water control projects intersect with the natural drainage basins of Lloyd Creek and the Trappe River.
