1968 Map of Bradford

A network of family-linked landmarks and spiritual sites, such as Oakland Ch and Scantlin Cem, provides significant detail for local history. The eastern boundary is defined by the winding course of the White River, surrounded by a labyrinth of sloughs and lakes including Hopspike Lake and Steenbergen Lake. The prevalence of named wetlands and ponds, such as Goose Pond and Bear Water Slough, illustrates a landscape heavily influenced by the seasonal fluctuations of the river system.
