2019 Map of Spring Grove

About this map

Spring Grove and its surrounding townships in Houston and Fillmore counties reveal a landscape shaped by narrow creek valleys and the Lutheran heritage of its settlers. Small communities like Black Hammer, Riceford, and Newhouse are scattered throughout the territory, often anchored by historic burial grounds such as the Riceford Norwegian Cem and the Black Hammer Lutheran Church Cem. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Black Hammer Bluff and a network of waterways including Riceford Cr, Beaver Cr W, and N Bear Cr. While Spring Grove serves as the primary population center along West Main Street, the outlying areas maintain a rural character, evidenced by the private Deters Farms Airport and numerous agricultural roads like Territorial Drive and Sugar Valley Road.
