About this map

Bradford serves as a central hub in this modern survey of the White and Jackson county border, where the landscape transitions from the upland drainage of Oats Creek and Piney Creek into the alluvial bottomlands of the White River. The settlement pattern reflects the area's river-driven history, anchored by the town of Grand Glaise and the nearby site of Old Grand Glaise. To the north, small communities like Coffeeville and the evocatively named Possum Grape sit among a network of rural routes such as Jackson 306 and Jackson 365.

Family history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Hickman Cem, Oakland Cem, and Scantin Cem, located across the rolling terrain north of Butter Creek. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding path of the White River, featuring numerous oxbows and sloughs like Bear Water Slough and Hopshinke Slough. These wetlands, including Goose Pond and Arm Lake, illustrate the complex hydrology that has shaped the local economy and land use for generations.
