About this map

Nauvoo and Hartsfield anchor this rural landscape in Tioga County, where a network of family-named roads and watercourses defines the local geography. The area's agricultural and industrial heritage is evident in settlements like Blacks Mill and the southern hamlet of Buttonwood, connected by winding routes such as Nauvoo Rd and Blacks Creek Rd. Elevations vary across the terrain, notably at Sugar Hill and the heights near Bloss Lookout Tower, which provides a vantage point over the surrounding forests.

Water systems play a central role in the topography, with Zimmerman Creek, Blacks Creek, and Little Fall Creek draining the highlands into larger arteries like Babb Creek. Researchers can trace old property access through labels like Milk Plant Rd, Snyder Rd, and Artley Hill Rd, reflecting a community structure built around localized farm-to-market infrastructure and small-scale creek-side industry.
