About this map

Spartansburg serves as the central hub of this 1960s landscape, positioned near the shores of Clear Lake and Patrick Run. The terrain is defined by a series of agricultural and forestry pockets, including the State Game Lands No 144 and the prominent Eastman Hill. The transportation network of the era is anchored by the Penn Central railroad, which threads through the valley near the South Branch French Cr and Oil Creek.

Local genealogy and settlement patterns are evident in the numerous small crossroads communities such as Concord Corners, Merchant Corners, and Hatchtown. Rural life is further marked by several historic burying grounds, including Woodlawn Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Whitney Cem. Significant church landmarks like Our Lady of Victory Ch and Fairview Ch highlight the social centers of these small townships during the late twentieth century.
