About this map

The Bois Brule River winds through the heart of the Brule River State Forest in this mid-1980s survey, defining a landscape of recreational value and natural resources. The settlement of Brule serves as a central hub, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor meets the river. The map records several notable rapids including Doodlebug Rapids and Little Joe Rapids, highlighting the river's character before it reaches the State Fish Hatchery downstream.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the North Country National Scenic Trail cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is supported by the location of Pine Glade Cem and Pine Ridge Cem, while family-named roads like Kauppi Road and Hakkinen Road suggest the area's rural settlement patterns. The presence of numerous small lakes, such as Hoodoo Lake and Camp Eleven Lake, underscores the water-rich geography of the Douglas and Bayfield County border.
