1956 Map of Ephrata

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Ephrata and its surrounding boroughs are defined by a complex network of mid-century infrastructure and traditional rural settlements. The northern portion of the sheet is bisected by the Pennsylvania Turnpike, while the Reading railroad lines connect industrial points like Akron and Denver. Waterways such as Cocalico Creek and Conestoga Creek wind through a landscape dotted with numerous district schools, including Washington Sch and Fulton Sch, reflecting the community-centric organization of Lancaster County before the era of major school consolidation.
