About this map

The winding course of the Conestoga River and the broad Susquehanna River anchor this map of southern Lancaster County. The landscape is deeply tied to its agrarian and religious roots, evidenced by the high density of family graveyards and denominational burial grounds. Genealogists will find a wealth of records in sites like the Philip Lefevre Burying Ground and the Bender-Immel Family Graveyard.

Smaller hamlets such as Slackwater, Baumgardner, and Marticville dot the terrain, while larger hubs like Millersville and Willow Street show established residential patterns. Industrial history is visible at Martic Forge and Burnt Mills, where local water sources once powered the regional economy. Numerous churches, including Boehms Chapel Cem and the Union African Methodist Episcopal Cem, highlight the diverse faith traditions that have shaped these communities for generations.
