About this map

The town of Bradford anchors this landscape in White County, where the transition from higher ground toward the bottomlands of the White River is clearly defined. The terrain is crisscrossed by an intricate drainage system including Piney Cr, Oats Cr, and Departee Creek, which feed into numerous wetlands and sloughs such as Bear Water Slough and Goose Pond. Several small settlements and rural communities are documented, including Possum Grape, Grand Glaise, and Old Grand Glaise, reflecting the historical settlement patterns along the river corridor.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites like Scantlin Cem, Oakland Cem, Hickman Cem, and McKnight Cem. The map illustrates the concentration of infrastructure around the main road corridors and the rail line passing through Bradford, while the eastern reaches toward Blackbird Bend and Cocklebur Bend remain dominated by riverine features like Yancopin Lake and McDougal Lake.
