About this map

The Red Cedar River carves a winding path through this western Wisconsin landscape, serving as the primary geographic anchor for the settlement of Sand Creek. This 2015 survey reveals a deeply agricultural region defined by a precise grid of rural routes like 1450th Ave and Lundquist Hill Rd that cross the boundaries of Barron, Dunn, and Chippewa Counties.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including Dovre Cem in the northeast and Our Saviors Cem near the western edge. The drainage patterns of Upper Pine Cr, Lower Pine Cr, and Beaver Cr illustrate the complex hydrography feeding into the main river valley. Small-scale infrastructure like the Knutson Farms Airport and several isolated cemeteries, such as Myron Cem and Springbrook Cem, speak to the enduring, spread-out nature of this rural township structure.
