About this map

Big Spring and Davis Corners anchor this rural landscape in Adams and Columbia Counties as it appeared in 2013. The area is defined by a series of small, glacial lakes and winding waterways, including the waters of Jordan Lake and Mason Lake. The map reveals a mix of recreational and agricultural land use, punctuated by small private landing strips such as Polish Paradise Airport and Gaffney Airport.

A network of county highways and local roads, including Co HWY-B and Co HWY-G, provides access to the various tributaries feeding into the region's lakes. Water drainage patterns are clearly visible through Plainville Cr, Big Spring Creek, and Corning Cr, reflecting the natural hydrology of this Central Sands region. This survey captures the quiet, dispersed settlement pattern and the essential relationship between the local road network and the area's many water bodies.
