2022 Map of Brussels

About this map

The Niagara Escarpment defines the geological character of this section of the Door Peninsula, where agricultural lands meet the distinct ridge line. In the northern portion of the map, the settlement of Brussels is situated near Brussels Hill, while the village of Kolberg sits further east, anchored by the Emmanuel Lutheran Church. The landscape is dotted with several significant local burial grounds, including Saint Francis Cem and Saint Michaels Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in these long-established Belgian and German communities. To the south, the village of Rosiere straddles the line between Door and Kewaunee counties, home to Saint Huberts Catholic Cem. Waterways like the Ahnapee River and the expansive Black Ash Swamp highlight the drainage patterns of the peninsula, while named elevations such as Dhuey Hill break the otherwise steady agricultural grid.
