About this map

Gettysburg National Military Park dominates this modern landscape, preserving the hallowed ground of the 1863 conflict. The map illustrates how the borough of Gettysburg has evolved, with Gettysburg College and the Harrisburg Area Community College - Gettysburg Campus anchoring the northern end of town. Beyond the residential streets, the terrain remains defined by the tactical ridges and hills that shaped American history, including Seminary Ridge, Cemetery Hill, and Culps Hill.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with several major burial sites such as the Gettysburg National Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the Lincoln Cem. Moving south and east, the landscape transitions to the rural character of Adams County, where smaller settlements like Two Taverns and Bonneauville sit among the headwaters of Rock Creek and White Run. The modern inclusion of Lake Heritage provides a contrast to the nineteenth-century landmarks that define the region's identity.
