A Brown County township map answers two different questions around De Pere: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. This guide covers the free Brown County, WI options and how to read them.
How to use the Brown County township map
A township name on a county tax record refers to the civil township where the land near De Pere sits. The survey township cited in deeds near Ashwaubenon follows the federal survey grid, where a survey township is about 6 miles square; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Anston may span two.
The county map you'll pair it with
The county's own public map is the Brown County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Bellevue and the rest of the county. Most people find their Brown County tract fastest by searching an address in Denmark, then clicking the outline. For a backup route to the map covering Denmark, our Brown County directory entry keeps the link current.
How to look up a township in Brown County

Sections, quarters and roads in Brown County
On a grid map of Brown County, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a survey township, with the count snaking back and forth to 36 in the southeast. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Ashwaubenon make sense in reverse: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Green Bay may not be exactly 640 acres.
Township records near Bellevue
Older deeds near Bellevue may name a township differently than today's Brown County records, so compare the legal description too. For property tax questions, the township shown on the county record for a parcel near Bellevue is the one that counts.
