2022 Map of Spaulding

About this map

Saddle Mound and Sugarloaf Mound rise above a landscape of low-lying wetlands and drainage networks in this Jackson County region. The topography is defined by the East Fork Black River in the north and an intricate system of man-made channels including N Floater Ditch, S Floater Ditch, and Goodyear Ditch further south. These features suggest a history of water management for agricultural or industrial use in the marshy terrain. Small communities like Pray and Spaulding serve as anchors along the historic Old Hwy 54, while Lapham Junction marks a notable point of convergence for local travel. In the southern reaches, isolated rises such as Drescher Island and Bear Bluff stand out among the winding paths of McKenna Creek and Hunters Peak Ditch.
