1952 Map of Dickinson

About this map

Yellow Breeches Creek flows through the northern valley of this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape where agricultural settlements like Dickinson and Hockersville transition into the steep slopes of South Mountain. The map captures the industrial and recreational character of the South Mountain area, centered on the historic Pine Grove Furnace and its surrounding water bodies, Fuller Lake and Laurel Forge Pond. Notable local institutions include the Huntsdale State Fish Hatchery and several rural churches, such as the South Fairview Church and Church of the Brethren.
