About this map

Brillion serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, where the borders of Brown, Calumet, and Manitowoc Counties converge. The region is characterized by a dense network of country roads like Greenleaf Rd and Popp Ln, which connect numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Kasson Cem. These sites, along with the Trinity Cem and Brillion Cem near the town center, provide significant data points for genealogists tracing the area’s rural heritage.

Water plays a defining role in the local geography, with the North Branch Manitowoc River winding through the southern reaches and Spring Cr feeding into the lowlands near the town site. A chain of small glacial water bodies, including Round Lake, Boot Lake, Long Lake, and Becker Lake, dots the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. These features, alongside Grass Lake and the headwaters of the E River, highlight the transition between upland farms and the protected wetlands typical of East Central Wisconsin.
