2018 Map of Brussels

About this map

The Niagara Escarpment defines the geological character of this region, shaping the high ground of Brussels Hill and Dhuey Hill. Located on the border of Door and Kewaunee counties, this landscape is a patchwork of agricultural plots and low-lying wetlands like the Black Ash Swamp. Small communities and religious centers serve as the primary landmarks, including the settlement of Brussels and the Saint Huberts Catholic Cem in Rosiere. The road network follows a rigid grid system typical of the Midwest, though it frequently yields to the winding course of the Ahnapee River and several branches of Silver Creek. This map offers a modern view of a rural Wisconsin corridor where the drainage patterns of the Bruemmer Cr and the heights of the escarpment continue to dictate the placement of farms and small hamlets like Kolberg.
