2010 Map of Sand Creek

About this map

The Red Cedar River defines the central topography of this region, winding past the village of Sand Creek as it flows south through Dunn County. This landscape is characterized by a grid-like network of rural roads that connect family farmsteads and historic community hubs. The area is dotted with several ancestral burial grounds, including the Dovre Cemetery in the north and the Springbrook Cemetery to the east, which speak to the long-standing settlement of the surrounding townships. Water management and hydrology are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Toycen G 5925 Dam and the numerous tributaries like Cruikshank Creek and Tiller Creek that feed into the main river channel. These waterways created a natural corridor for early transportation and industry in the northern Wisconsin interior.
