About this map

The Gettysburg Battlefield Commission provided control for this detailed landscape of Adams County, documenting the sacred terrain just decades after the Civil War. Significant tactical landmarks such as Round Top, Little Round Top, and Cemetery Hill are clearly delineated alongside Seminary Ridge and Barlow Knoll, offering a precise view of the topography that shaped the 1863 conflict. Beyond the battlefield, the map reveals a thriving early 20th-century rural economy anchored by milling and rail transit, with Hershey Mill and Goodintent Mills situated along the winding creeks.
