About this map

Gettysburg and its surrounding ridge lines and valley floors are documented here in a modern geospatial context, showing the enduring geography of the South Central Pennsylvania landscape. The map provides a precise layout of the town's street grid and the immediate rural outskirts, including the varied terrain of Seminary Ridge, Oak Ridge, and Barlow Knoll. Much of the area south of town is defined by its preserved open spaces and water features like Rock Cr and Plum Run, which continue to dictate the local hydrology and land-use patterns.

Local landmarks such as Cemetery Hill, Culps Hill, and The Peach Orchard are clearly marked, alongside the prominent Round Top and Little Round Top elevations to the south. Beyond the central borough, smaller communities like Bonneauville and Two Taverns appear to the east and southeast. The presence of specialized aviation sites like Captain's Folly Airport and Waltz Airport indicates a mix of traditional agricultural land and private infrastructure, while Lake Heritage stands as a notable modern residential water feature.
