About this map

The agricultural and forested landscape of Adams County is defined here by a series of low ridges like Chestnut Hill and Stone Jug Hill, which separate the various drainages of Conewago Creek and Bermudian Creek. In the early 1990s, this region maintained a dense network of small villages and crossroads, including Biglerville, Bendersville, and Heidlersburg. The area's milling history is still visible at Limerick Mill and Center Mill, while the local social fabric is anchored by numerous country churches such as Rock Chapel and Great Conewago Ch.

A notable mix of recreational and utility features appears across the townships of Menallen and Tyrone. From the Hunterstown Speedway in the southeast to the Shimerfield Landing Strip, the map reveals a community balanced between traditional orchard lands near Floradale and modern infrastructure. Large tracts of State Game Lands No 249-70 occupy the central portion of the sheet, preserving the woodland character of the terrain between Plainview and Arendtsville.
