2013 Map of Spartansburg

About this map

Spartansburg serves as the central hub of this Crawford County landscape, where the waters of Clear Lake transition into Patrick Run and eventually the E Br Oil Cr. The map reveals a dense network of early rural settlements and namesake intersections, including Concord Corners, Blakeslee Corners, and Merchant Corners, indicating a well-distributed agricultural community. The terrain is marked by distinct rises such as Eastman Hill and the branching waterways of Fivemile Cr and Britton Run. These features suggest a history of localized commerce at sites like Fish Flats and Hatchtown, where the intersection of regional roads and creeks shaped the development of the valley. Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of homesteads along old routes like Welch Hill Rd and Erie Co Line Rd, which connect these small, persistent hamlets.
