1942 Map of Gettysburg

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Gettysburg serves as the focal point of a complex regional network of roads and rails during the early 1940s, with the Western Maryland RR and its Baltimore and Harrisburg Division cutting through the terrain. The landscape is defined by its agrarian and early industrial foundations, evidenced by the numerous water-powered sites along Pipe Creek, Marsh Creek, and Conewago Creek. Small rural communities like Hunterstown, Bonneauville, and Bendersville are surrounded by an exceptionally dense distribution of neighborhood landmarks, including the Sevenhundred Sch and the Barlow Mountjoy Ch.
