1992 Map of Brillion

About this map

Brillion serves as the central hub of this 1990s landscape, situated at the intersection of several rural township boundaries including Holland, Maple Grove, and Rantoul. The city's industrial footprint is clearly visible through the Industrial Waste Ponds and a network of arterial roads like Park Ave. Surrounding the urban center, the terrain is defined by the expansive Brillion State Wildlife Area, where Spring Creek and Black Creek meander through low-lying marshlands. This map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Evergreen Cemetery and Bluff Cemetery, which provide significant genealogical data points for local families. To the south, a chain of glacial lakes such as Long Lake, Becker Lake, and Grass Lake marks the transition into more varied elevations, punctuated by several Gravel Pits and a Quarry that hint at the region's active surface mining.
