Geography

[edit]

Bradley occupies northern Lincoln County and is bordered to the north by Oneida County. It surrounds the city of Tomahawk, a separate municipality. The U.S. Route 51 freeway runs along the eastern side of the town, leading south 21 miles (34 km) to Merrill, the Lincoln county seat, and north 85 miles (137 km) to Hurley.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 62.9 square miles (162.9 km2), of which 54.5 square miles (141.2 km2) are land and 8.4 square miles (21.7 km2), or 13.3%, are water.[1] The Wisconsin River flows through the town and the center of Tomahawk, where it is joined by the Tomahawk, Somo, and Spirit rivers. The river system is impounded by the Tomahawk Dam in Bradley just south of the Tomahawk city limits, forming Lake Mohawksin, and by a separate dam forming the Spirit River Flowage. Upstream, the Wisconsin is impounded by Kings Dam in the east part of Bradley, forming Lake Alice.
