About this map

Cold Spring sits at the center of a complex landscape where the Sauk River winds past the Sauk River Dam and through a dense network of glacial water bodies. The settlement pattern here is deeply rooted in local parish history, anchored by clusters like Jacobs Prairie to the north and Saint Nicholas to the south. Each of these small communities is marked by its respective burial grounds, including the Jacobs Prairie Cemetery and the Saint Nicholas Cemetery, providing a clear map of early regional development and family lineages.

West of the main township, the terrain is dominated by an interconnected chain of lakes including Great Northern Lake, Krays Lake, and the expansive Cedar Island Lake. This area, accessed by routes like County Hwy-158, shows a transition from the structured street grid near the Cold Spring Post Office to more winding residential and recreational pockets around Zumwalles Lake and Bolfing Lake. The presence of City View Golf and the Cold Spring Rest Area reflects the area's modern role as a destination for both local residents and travelers.
