We have these two helpers in our app which have been useful:

goBackTo(pathname)

Looks back in history to find which entry matches pathname, and then moves back to that entry. We implemented using MemoryRouter; depending on the limitations of BrowserRouter, it might but always be possible (I don't think BrowserRouter has an entries array on router.history). This is useful when you have routes in history that the user should not go back to, for example when going through a wizard or filling out a multi-step form.

clearHistoryAndPush(location)

Goes back history.length - 1 and then replaces the current route with the new location (where location is anything that can be passed to history.push). This can be useful when, for example, the user logs out of the app.
