About this map

Elizabethtown serves as the primary hub of this 1960s landscape, which spans the borders of Lancaster, Dauphin, and Lebanon Counties. The town's detailed street grid and corporate boundary are defined by the Penn Central railroad and the sprawling campus of the Masonic Home. To the north, the corridor between Bachmanville and Colebrook is characterized by rural crossroads and institutional landmarks like the State Hospital.

Transitioning into the more wooded northeast, State Game Lands No 145 occupies the high ground above Lawn and Upper Lawn. Waterways like Conewago Creek and Chickies Creek drain the surrounding agricultural lands, while the Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts a modern path across the traditional township lines of Conewago and Mount Joy. Numerous country churches and schools, such as Chickies Ch and Fairview Sch, provide specific points of interest for local history researchers.
