About this map

Cussewago Creek winds through the heart of the Crawford County countryside in this mid-century survey, creating a landscape defined by its rural townships and family-named landmarks. The area south of Edinboro shows a transition from the village center near Edinboro Lake toward the agricultural reaches of Cussewago and Hayfield townships. Small rural crossroads such as Crossingville and Mosiertown serve as anchoring points for local history, often marked by their respective burial grounds like Mosiertown Cem and nearby Carmel-Freeman Cem.

The map reveals a network of local roads, many bearing the names of early resident families including Kearney Road, Hotchkiss Road, and Clawson Road. Cultural and educational foundations are visible through the Township Sch and the Gospel Hill Ch, while large tracts of managed wilderness are preserved in State Game Lands No 152. This record captures the region's character before the expansion of more modern infrastructure began to alter the traditional landscape.
