2022 Map of Sand Spring Creek

About this map

Cambria and the small community of Ingle anchor this portion of Columbia County, where a complex network of wetlands and streams defines the rural landscape. The northern reaches are dominated by the winding course of the Fox River, while the southern half of the sheet is characterized by the expansive wetlands surrounding the North Branch Duck Creek and its various tributaries. This 2022 survey illustrates a landscape of established agricultural tradition, marked by long-standing township roads like Welsh Prairie Rd and Friesland Rd. Local genealogy is preserved at the Portage Prairie Cem and Rosedale Presbyterian Cem, which stand as significant landmarks alongside the Bancroft East Airport. The map traces the natural drainage patterns of the Sand Spring Cr as it feeds into the regional river system, providing a detailed look at the rural intersections and land divisions of the early 21st century.
