2016 Map of Ephrata

About this map

Ephrata serves as the central hub of this modern survey, surrounded by a network of established boroughs and crossroads settlements including Akron, Denver, and Reamstown. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Cocalico Creek and its many tributaries like Indian Run and Hammer Creek, which historically powered the industry of Lancaster County. The terrain rises to the southeast at Ephrata Mtn, while the southwestern corner is bounded by the Conestoga River near Brownstown. This detailed record captures the dense placement of community landmarks, from Mount Zion Ch to a high concentration of local burying grounds including Bethany Cem and Cedar Hill Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the structured street grids of towns like Schoeneck and Hopeland to the agricultural expanses and wooded ridges that characterize the Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
