2023 Map of Dover

About this map

Conewago Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Conewago Creek and Beaver Creek, wind through this York County landscape, defining the rural character of the region. The map captures a high density of small family and community burial sites, such as the Boyer Family Gravesite and Benders Burial Ground, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Pennsylvania. High points like Conewago Mountain and Straight Hill overlook a network of established settlements including Andersontown, Zions View, and Strinestown. The presence of the Lazy B Ranch Airport and newer residential developments near Weigelstown reflects the late-century transition from purely agricultural land use to a mix of suburban and utility-oriented growth. Historic transport corridors like the Mason Dixon Trail and North Susquehanna Trail connect these communities, following the natural contours of the valley.
