About this map

Brantwood and the neighboring settlement of Clifford anchor this survey of the Northwoods landscape where Price and Oneida counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Somo River and its various tributaries like Somo Creek and Little Somo Creek. The layout of the land reflects a traditional rural grid, with long straight corridors such as County Hwy D and Town Hall Rd connecting dispersed homesteads and farms.

Genealogists will find significant value in the four distinct burial grounds documented here, including the Finnish Cemetery, Somo Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Knox Cemetery. These sites, along with family-named routes like Niemi Rd, Kauhava Rd, and Ahola Rd, speak to the Finnish heritage and early pioneer families who settled this corner of Wisconsin. The map also traces the winding paths of Squaw Creek and Flanigan Creek through the timbered terrain south of the main settlements.
