1984 Map of Oulu

About this map

The Bois Brule River snakes through the western portion of this Northern Wisconsin landscape, its course marked by features such as Weir Riffles, Long Riffles, and the cascading Shale Falls. This mid-1980s data highlights the Brule River State Forest, a significant conservation area managed for waterfowl. To the east, the rural communities of Oulu and Waino are defined by a network of local roads such as Pudas Road and Koski Road, reflecting a pattern of mid-century agricultural and residential development in Douglas and Bayfield Counties. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds including Rest Haven Cem, Oulu Cem, and Hillcrest Cem, while the northern coastline meets Lake Superior at Brule Point. The presence of several Gravel Pits and various rapids like the Highway 13 Rapids underscore the area's geology and its relationship to the drainage basin flowing into the Great Lakes.
