About this map

The Somo River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Somo Cr and Meadow Brook, define the rural geography of this northern Wisconsin landscape. Located at the intersection of Price, Oneida, and Lincoln counties, the region centers on the small settlements of Brantwood and Clifford. The mapping reveals a distinct grid of local roads, such as Brantwood Ave and Old 8 Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and timberlands across townships T36N R3E and T35N R4E.

Local heritage is particularly visible through several historic burial sites, including the Finnish Cem and Somo Cem, reflecting the Scandinavian and Central European settlement patterns of the area. Waterways like Squaw Cr and Knox Cr snake through the terrain, while roads named for early families or local landmarks, such as Kauhava Rd and Pokela Rd, provide essential clues for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of these rural northwoods communities.
