About this map

Elizabethtown and its surrounding borough serve as the anchor for this landscape, where the campus of Elizabethtown College sits near a dense concentration of religious and genealogical sites. The area is defined by its deep Mennonite and Brethren roots, visible in the numerous small family burial grounds and community cemeteries like the Elizabethtown Mennonite Cem and the Rheems Mennonite Cem.

Transit patterns follow the winding course of Conewago Creek, which forms much of the county line between Dauphin, Lebanon, and Lancaster. The conversion of former infrastructure into modern corridors is evident through the Lebanon Valley Rail Trl and the Conewago Recreation Trl, providing a clear look at how the region's historic rail-and-river geography has been preserved. Small outlying settlements like Milton Grove, Bellaire, and Lawn maintain their distinct character amidst the undulating farmland and tributary waters of Little Conewago Creek and Hoffer Creek.
