2013 Map of Brantwood

About this map

Brantwood and Clifford serve as the primary settlement points in this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by a complex network of waterways. The Somo River and its various tributaries, including Little Somo Cr and Meadow Brook, wind through the terrain alongside the S Fork Jump River in the west. These drainage patterns influenced the early settlement and road layout, which is anchored by the east-west corridor of Us-8. The grid of local roads, such as Kauhava Rd and Pokela Rd, reflects the agricultural and timber roots of the area, while smaller named streams like Squaw Cr and Flanigan Cr delineate the rural township borders. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure as it stood in the early 21st century, just south of the dense forests of the northern highlands.
