About this map

The Ephrata Cloister stands as a central historical landmark in this part of Lancaster County, anchoring a landscape where colonial-era heritage meets modern development. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridge of Ephrata Mountain and the winding course of Cocalico Cr, which passes through the borough and connects various smaller settlements. To the north, the community of Denver sits near the confluence of Little Cocalico Cr, while the southern reaches are marked by the broader flow of the Conestoga River near Farmersville.

Transport and recreation are intertwined throughout the region, evidenced by the presence of the West View Golf Course and the long-distance Horseshoe Trail Rd clipping the northeastern corner. Smaller villages like Schoeneck, Durlach, and Millway are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by a dense network of roads such as Mount Airy Rd and Steinmetz Rd. This map captures the transition from the concentrated residential core of Akron to the open agricultural lands and wooded hills characteristic of this historic Pennsylvania region.
