About this map

The Chippewa River curves through the northeast corner of this Rusk County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its glacial lakes and wetland drainage. The village of Bruce serves as the primary settlement, situated near the junction of W Railroad Ave and W Arthur Ave. This map reveals a significant concentration of local heritage sites, particularly in the clustered burial grounds of Saint Marys Cem and Bruce Protestant Cem near the town center, and the paired Apollonia Protestant Cem and Apollonia Catholic Cem to the west.

Water dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, where Amacoy Lake and Caley Lake sit amidst a network of small tributaries like Soft Maple Cr and Buff Cr. The terrain is crisscrossed by established local routes such as Co RD H and Co RD O, which connect the scattered homesteads and woodland tracts of the Thornapple area. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and cemetery locations that are vital for documenting the settlement patterns of northwestern Wisconsin.
