About this map

The Susquehanna River serves as the central divide for this riverfront landscape, separating the borough of Marietta and the city of Columbia from Wrightsville and Hallam on the western bank. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Chickies Rock and Chickies Ridge, which overlook the river's path through the York Valley. Local aviation is well-represented by several small facilities, including the Elizabethtown-Marietta Incorporated Airport and Crumling Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of family and community burial grounds, from Camp Hill Cemetery near Mount Joy to the Strickler Cemetery further south. The map documents the intricate transition from suburban settlements to agricultural land, specifically at Lauxmont Farms, while maintaining evidence of early infrastructure through names like Vinegar Ferry Rd and the Hellam Post Office.
