2022 Map of Brantford

About this map

The small rural communities of Brantford, Calderhead, and Strawberry anchor this landscape along the border of Washington, Republic, and Cloud Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads including Bismark Rd and Concord Rd, which follow the section lines of the township and range survey system. Agricultural history is deeply etched into the land through numerous religious and family burial grounds, such as Saint Bernards Cem, Zion Lutheran Cem, and the Brantford Covenant Cem. Waterways like Scribner Cr and its W Br Scribner Cr cut through the terrain, influencing the placement of early homesteads. The concentration of seven distinct cemeteries in this small radius suggests a series of tight-knit pioneer settlements that once flourished along these creek beds.
