1908 Map of Gettysburg
USGS Topo · Published 1921About this map
Gettysburg and its surrounding townships appear here at the beginning of the twentieth century, showing a landscape defined by its strategic ridge lines and emerging rail connections. The map details the complex topography south of the borough, including the distinctive profiles of Cemetery Hill, Seminary Ridge, and the Little Round Top and Big Round Top peaks. These features, alongside the Western Maryland York RR, illustrate the tactical geography of the region as it transitioned from a nineteenth-century agricultural center to a preserved historical landscape.
