About this map

The Bois Brule River snakes northward through Douglas County toward its outlet at Lake Superior, defining the drainage of this coastal Wisconsin landscape. The river is notable for its numerous named water features and navigational hazards, including Weir Riffles, Long Riffles, Shale Falls, and the Highway Thirteen Rapids. These natural landmarks sit alongside McNeil Landing, hinting at the river's historical importance for transit and access to the northern shore.

Away from the riverbanks, the small communities of Waino and Oulu anchor a grid of rural roads and county highways. The map details a complex network of named tributaries such as Trask Cr, Fish Cr, and Reefer Cr that feed the Brule. Near the settlement of Waino, geological features like May Ledges and Lenroot Ledges mark the terrain, providing specific points of interest for local historians and geologists studying the Lake Superior lowland.
