2011 Map of Browns Corners

About this map

North Branch Tobacco River and its companion, the Middle Branch Tobacco River, carve through the glacial landscape of Sheridan Township in this 2011 survey. The region is defined by its abundance of small water bodies, ranging from the northern Drachenburg Lake and Howland Lake to the southern Bailey Lake and Round Lake. The settlement pattern follows a distinct grid of country roads, with small nodes at Browns Corners and Dover. For family historians, the area is well-marked by several burial grounds, including Saint John's Lutheran Cemetery, Ott Cemetery, and Thompson Cemetery. The presence of the River Valley RV Park near the river's path suggests the transition of this area into a recreational destination, while many of the lake names like Lily Lake, Bass Lake, and Upper Brennan Lake point to the area's natural character.
