About this map

Spartansburg serves as the central hub of this northern Pennsylvania landscape, situated where the East Branch Oil Creek meets Clear Lake. The territory is defined by the transition between Concord and Sparta townships, with the Penn Central rail line cutting a diagonal path through the valley. This 1960s survey illustrates a rural economy rooted in agriculture and natural resources, evidenced by numerous small crossroads settlements like Merchant Corners, Blakeslee Corners, and Hatchtown.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including Woodlawn Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Whitney Cem. The northern reach of the map is dominated by State Game Lands No 144, while the southern section transitions toward the hills of Rome township. Local religious life is anchored by country churches such as Our Lady of Victory Ch and Fairview Ch.
