The township was named after Henry Brevort (or Brevoort), a surveyor assigned to subdivide the area in 1845.[6] Most of the township land is within the eastern portion of the Hiawatha National Forest. The township includes part of the Mackinac Wilderness.
The township is in central Mackinac County, bordered to the west and south by Moran Township and to the east by St. Ignace Township. It is bordered to the north by Trout Lake Township in Chippewa County. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Brevort Township has a total area of 98.84 square miles (255.99 km2), of which 92.48 square miles (239.52 km2) are land and 6.36 square miles (16.47 km2) (6.43%) are water.[1]
