[or-roots] Springwater

[Beth Perry Johnston]

I think it exists as an unincorporated community as in the community has 
a mailing address of Estacada, but if you were to mention Springwater, 
locals (and those who know about its existence) would know to what area 
you were referring. Googling +springwater +oregon brings up a lot of 
references, including a Springwater Cemetery.
