1919 Map of Springport

Industry and early travel routes are clearly marked, from the Smithville Dam in the north to the Old Plank Road and Detroit and Chicago Road in the south. The intersection of local history is evident at places like Tompkins Center and Onondaga, where the topography transitions from the wetland-rich basins of Loomis Lake and the Montague Lakes to the elevated Hishabaugh Hills. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of the Chapel Cemetery and the many family-named landmarks that dot the countryside between Albion and Minard.
