1961 Map of Bradford

About this map

Bradford and the surrounding township of the same name define this early 1960s landscape, where rural life centered on local institutions like Bradford Sch and the community Townhall. The area is characterized by its numerous water bodies and wetlands, with the meandering Rum River carving a path across the northern half of the sheet, joined by Stockfield Creek. To the south, residential development is evident along the water at West Lake Francis Shores and East Lake Francis Shores, signaling the post-war growth of lakeside recreation and seasonal living.
