About this map

Ephrata and its surrounding boroughs define this mid-century landscape in Lancaster County, where the transition from traditional Pennsylvania German farmsteads to modern infrastructure is clearly visible. The Reading railroad line and the Pennsylvania Turnpike cut through the terrain, illustrating the region's importance as a transportation corridor. Numerous small schools such as Metzler Sch and Fetter Sch appear alongside a high density of country churches like Zion Ch and Hans Graf Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted community life of the local townships.
