About this map

Bruce and the nearby settlement of Apollonia sit at the center of this rural landscape in Rusk County, where the transportation network follows the path of the Chippewa River. The river winds south through the territory, flanked by secondary routes like State Road 40 and Us-8. The region is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including the prominent Amacoy Lake and smaller basins such as Bruce Lake and Caley Lake.

Creeks like Devils Creek and Soft Maple Cr drain the surrounding timber and agricultural lands, while local roads such as Tyman Rd and Sawdust Rd connect the scattered homesteads and settlements. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century when the economy of the region remained closely tied to the water systems and the rural road infrastructure established around these small Wisconsin communities.
