1944 Map of Biglerville

About this map

Biglerville stands as the primary hub of this Adams County landscape, situated at the crossroads of local commerce and transport during the mid-20th century. The Reading railroad line provides a vital spine for the region, connecting smaller hamlets and stops such as Bendersville Sta and Table Rock Sta. The rural character is defined by a dense network of country schools that once served these agrarian communities, including Hickory Point Sch, Locust Grove Sch, and Bridge Sch. Prominent high ground like Chestnut Hill and Wolfpit Hill rises above the valley floors carved by Conewago Creek and Bermudian Creek. Revisions from the late 1960s illustrate the expansion of local infrastructure, including a Sewage Disposal facility near the main town and the path of a major Pipeline cutting across the townships of Butler and Tyrone.
