About this map

Brantwood and Clifford serve as the primary hubs in this Northern Wisconsin landscape, situated along the tri-county intersection of Price, Oneida, and Lincoln Counties. The geography is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, most notably the Somo River and its various tributaries including Little Somo Cr and Somo Cr. This drainage pattern created a challenging environment for early settlers, as evidenced by the numerous wetlands and small creeks like Squaw Cr and Sandwick Cr that crisscross the terrain.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds that speak to the area's heritage, including the Finnish Cem near Clifford, as well as Somo Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Knox Cem. The road network follows a rigid grid influenced by the Public Land Survey System, though older routes like Old 8 Rd and specialized local names like Pokela Rd and Kauhava Rd hint at the specific families and industries that shaped these woods and marshes.
