About this map

Elizabethtown serves as the primary hub of this south-central Pennsylvania landscape, with its urban core and the Elizabethtown College campus clearly defined. The area is characterized by a mix of institutional grounds and rural townships, including West Donegal and South Londonderry. Notable social and religious landmarks are scattered throughout, such as the Masonic Home and the Mt Tunnel Cem.

Transport corridors like the Pennsylvania railroad and the Pennsylvania Turnpike underscore the region's importance as a transit artery. To the north, the wooded expanse of State Game Lands No 145 provides a sharp contrast to the dense network of farms and small settlements like Bachmanville, Colebrook, and Lawn. The survey also documents local rural infrastructure including various pipelines, a Substation, and numerous country houses of worship like West Greentree Ch.
