About this map

The Springvale State Wildlife Area dominates the southern landscape of this Wisconsin quadrangle, where the North Branch Duck Creek and Duck Creek converge amidst extensive marshlands. To the north, the Fox River and Sand Spring Creek wind through a patchwork of rural farmsteads and township halls. This area of Columbia County is characterized by its heavy reliance on rail and road infrastructure for agricultural transport, anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad corridor.

Local history is preserved in the small community landmarks scattered across the townships of Scott and Springvale. Notable sites for genealogists include the Portage Prairie Cem and Rosedale Ch. The map also captures several family-named rural routes such as Newell Road, Barden Road, and Kuehn Rd, reflecting the generational footprint of the region's farming families during the late twentieth century.
