1955 Map of Conestoga

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Millersville and its State Teachers College anchor the northern edge of this Lancaster County landscape, where the Conestoga River winds southward toward the Holtwood Reservoir. The map illustrates a rural society organized around crossroads communities and numerous country sanctuaries, including New Danville Ch, Byerland Ch, and River Corner Ch. In the southern reaches, the Penn Central rail lines trace the steep contours near the Susquehanna River, passing through industrial and historic points like Martic Forge and Colemanville. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of Pequea Creek and its many tributaries, such as Silver Mine Run and Climbers Run, which historically supported early local industries. From the suburban expansion near Willow Street to the high ground of Mt Nebo, the map documents the persistent agricultural and spiritual centers of Manor and Martic townships.
