About this map

Fishing Creek and its many tributaries, including the South Fork Fishing Creek, dictate the drainage patterns and settlement layout across this section of the Piedmont. The landscape is dotted with rural centers such as Edgemoor and Lando, where local life once centered around small mills and crossroads commerce. The presence of Deas Mill on the northern reach of the creek suggests the importance of water power to the local economy before modern industrial shifts.

Modern infrastructure cuts across these older settlement patterns, seen in the path of Interstate 77 as it passes through the eastern half of the map. Smaller communities like Rodman, Ogden, and Smith remain as identifiers for local residents and genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the state. The boundary between York Co and Chester Co runs through the central portion of the map, dividing the land into distinct jurisdictional territories while the natural waterways like Stony Fork and Clinton Br continue their path regardless of political lines.
