1971 Map of Bradley

About this map

Lake Nokomis and the Little Rice River Flowage dominate this northern Wisconsin landscape at the border of Oneida and Lincoln Counties. The 1971 survey illustrates a region defined by extensive water management and flowage systems, where the Little Rice River and Somo River feed into larger reservoirs. The settlement of Bradley sits at a critical junction of the Soo Line railroad and local transport routes like Milky Rd. Moving away from the populated corridors, the map reveals a network of fire lanes and rural drives, such as Kelly Fire Lane and Rozell Drive, winding through swampy terrain and smaller water bodies like Killarney Lake and Prairie Lake. Genealogists may find interest in the Prairie Rapids Cem located near the eastern edge, while the various town hall locations and the Wayside Park mark the social and civic center of these lakeside communities during the early 1970s.
