2011 Map of Antioch

About this map

Elgin and the surrounding rural crossroads of Lancaster County define this landscape in the early 21st century. The geography is marked by a network of residential developments such as Evergreen Acres, Elgin Woods, and Antioch Acres interspersed with longstanding agricultural landmarks. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by numerous small impoundments like Burnetts Pond, Betheas Pond, and the Lancaster Reservoir, many of which are regulated by named structures such as the Harpers Pond D-1772 Dam. Local history is anchored by Caskey Cemetery in the north and Baskins Cemetery in the south, while the road network converges at historic junctions like Rich Hill Crossroads and Dwight Crossroads. The terrain is drained by several meandering watercourses, including Turkey Quarter Creek, Gills Creek, and Bear Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of established neighborhoods like Baker Place and Smoke Rise.
