1958 Map of Briggsville

A network of small country schools, such as Stafford Sch, Tofson Sch, and Fox Glen Sch, suggests a mid-century rural society still organized around local township districts. Agricultural and industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and Sandpits scattered throughout the townships of Springville and New Haven. From the northern shores of Jordan Lake to the southern curves of Leech Creek, the map documents a transition from lake-focused northern settlements to the river-oriented terrain of the south.
