About this map

Bradley sits near the eastern edge of this landscape, positioned north of where the Tomahawk River flows through the dense network of Wisconsin Northwoods waterways. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated by the Rice River Flowage and Little Rice River which create a sprawling system of wetlands and reservoirs across the border of Oneida Co and Lincoln Co. This area demonstrates a managed water system, with Little Rice Dam Rd and Kelly Dam Rd indicating the infrastructure required to regulate these basins for regional use.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Prairie Rapids Cem, located near Prairie Lake and the Prairie Rapids Rd. The map details a labyrinth of timber and access roads, such as Kelly Fire Ln and Burrows Lake Rd, that cut through the wetland fringes. From the waters of Somo Lake in the southwest to Swamp Cr in the northeast, the map provides a look at the modern state of this Northwoods region's drainage and settlement patterns.
