1972 Map of Bruce

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chippewa River flows prominently through this Rusk County landscape, defining the local geography as it passes the village of Bruce. The settlement patterns here follow the corridor established by the Soo Line railroad, which links the primary population centers of Bruce and the neighboring community of Apollonia. Significant water bodies such as Amacoy Lake, Bruce Lake, and Caley Lake dominate the southern and central terrain, many of which are flanked by recreation-oriented landmarks like the Picnic Area and Youth Camp. Genealogists may find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites, including St Marys Cem and a second Cem near Apollonia. The mapping of Townline Road and Ranch Road highlights the rural infrastructure that supported the area's transition into the late 20th century, while various Gravel Pits indicate the importance of local material extraction.
