2018 Map of Brule

About this map

Brule serves as the central hub of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Bois Brule River and its intricate series of whitewater features dominate the terrain. The river's character is defined by its numerous named rapids, including Doodlebug Rapids, Long Nebagamon Rapids, and Station Rapids, which descend through the township toward Lake Superior. The settlement of Winneboujou and the small siding at Wills illustrate the local reliance on the river and rail corridors. Higher ground is marked by Sugar Camp Hill in the northwest and Pine Ridge Cem near the town center. The presence of numerous trails and fire roads, such as Fire Tower Rd, points to the area's legacy of forest management and outdoor recreation. Large wetlands and tributary creeks like Nebagamon Cr and Fish Cr feed into the main river valley, creating a complex hydrological network through Douglas and Bayfield counties.
