1955 Map of Conestoga

About this map

Pequea Creek and the Conestoga Creek dominate this mid-century landscape south of Lancaster, winding through a network of small farming communities and historic crossroad settlements. The map illustrates a rural area transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern development, anchored by the State Teachers College in Millersville and industrial legacy sites like Martic Forge. Inland, the terrain is dotted with country churches such as Boehm Ch and Byerland Ch, serving as focal points for local townships.
