2023 Map of Coolspring

About this map

Coolspring and the surrounding rural uplands of Jefferson County are characterized by a dense network of country cemeteries and small settlements. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Sandy Creek and its tributaries, including Middle Branch Little Sandy Creek and Hickok Run. This area preserves the spatial layout of 19th-century church-centered communities, such as Saint Matthews Evangelical Lutheran Cem and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem, which served the local farming and mining families. To the south, Markton and Sprankle Mills sit at the edge of the plateau, while the northern terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Baughman Hill. The map provides a clear record of the rural road network, with corridors like Pump Station Rd and Ramsaytown Rd connecting the scattered hamlets of Knox Dale, Tait, and Norman.
