About this map

Gettysburg stands as the focal point of this mid-century Pennsylvania survey, revealing the landscape of Adams and York Counties just after the second World War. The map meticulously documents the terrain of the famed battlefield, including tactical high points like Little Round Top, Culp Hill, and the rocky Devil Den. Beyond the borough, the landscape is defined by a dense network of rural schoolhouses and religious landmarks, such as Conewago Chapel and Rock Chapel, which speak to the deep-rooted community structure of Mount Pleasant and Straban townships.
