About this map

Dempseytown anchors this portion of Cherrytree Township, sitting at a junction of rural routes where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Sugar Creek system. In this modern survey, the settlement pattern reveals a series of historic crossroads and small clusters such as Sunville, Wallaceville, and Bradleytown. The hydrology is particularly prominent, featuring the meandering paths of E Br Sugar Cr, Little Sugar Cr, and Prather Cr.

Numerous local roads, many named for early families and landmarks like Fauncetown Rd and Breedtown Rd, crisscross the area, connecting outlying points such as Luces Corners and Diamond. The map documents a classic Western Pennsylvania rural layout, where small hamlets like Chapmanville and Boals Bridge persist alongside the natural drainages that shaped the region's early development and agricultural boundaries.
