About this map

The Mississippi River and its intricate backwater channels like Harrington Slough define the eastern edge of this Jackson County landscape. Inland from the river, the terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Little Mill Cr, Duck Cr, and Pleasant Cr. The settlement of Springbrook serves as a local hub, anchored by the Saint Peter and Paul Catholic Cem.

Genealogists will find this particular survey exceptionally valuable for its identification of numerous small family burial grounds distributed across the rural township, including the Monner Farm Cem, Huff Farm Cem, Homan Farm Cem, and Heim Farm Cem. The transition from the river bluffs to the upland farms is marked by landmarks such as Island Number 249 and the Bellevue Flying Circus Airport, reflecting a mix of natural river geography and modern local infrastructure. The map also captures the wooded ravine of Sugar Camp Hollow and several denominational sites like Saint Johns Lutheran Cem and the Bellevue Presbyterian Cem.
