2022 Map of Springbrook

About this map

Springbrook and the southern edge of Bellevue anchor this modern topographic view of Jackson County, where the driftless-style topography descends sharply toward the Mississippi River. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Pleasant Cr and Little Mill Cr, which carve deep valleys through the agricultural uplands. A striking density of small family burial grounds, such as the Monner Farm Cem, Huff Farm Cem, Homan Farm Cem, and Heim Farm Cem, provides a detailed record of the rural homesteads that have long occupied these ridges. Along the riverfront, the map details the complex shoreline of Harrington Slough and the distinctive Island Number 249. For those interested in aviation history or local landmarks, the Bellevue Flying Circus Airport sits near the bluffs, while Sugar Camp Hollow and Bowman Island mark the natural transition from the rugged interior to the river's edge.
