2021 Map of Sailor Springs

About this map

Sailor Springs and the village of Ingraham anchor this survey of the Clay and Jasper County line, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Muddy Creek and its many tributaries. The area reflects a classic Midwestern rural layout of the early twenty-first century, with small settlements connected by a grid of named county roads like Zion Ln and Ingraham Ln. This region is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and McKinney Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for local genealogists. Topographical features like Turkey Point and Indian Point rise above the drainage basins of Weather Cr and Hurricane Cr, providing a detailed look at the local elevation patterns in this agricultural corridor near the Richland County border.
