About this map

Elizabethtown serves as the primary hub of this 2016 survey, a region where the tri-county borders of Lancaster, Lebanon, and Dauphin converge. The institutional presence of Elizabethtown Coll and the expansive grounds of Mount Tunnel Cem anchor the southern portion of the map, while the surrounding landscape transitions into a network of smaller agricultural and residential clusters. Small settlements like Bellaire, Milton Grove, and Lawn are connected by a dense web of rural roads, including Bachmanville Rd and Ridge Rd.

Hydrographic features such as Conewago Creek and Little Chiques Creek wind through the terrain, which is punctuated by unique landmarks like Dinosaur Rock near Colebrook. The area's genealogical depth is visible in scattered burial sites such as Oberholtzer Cem and Moyer Cem. This survey captures the modern balance of suburban expansion around Rheems and Anchor against the persistent rural character of the Pennsylvania countryside.
