1990 Map of Gettysburg

About this map

The hallowed grounds of the Gettysburg National Military Park dominate this 1990 survey, showing the complex interplay of memorialization and local development at the close of the twentieth century. From the heights of Cemetery Hill and Culps Hill to the tactical terrain of Devils Den and Little Round Top, the map delineates the preservation of the battlefield against the evolving streetscapes of Gettysburg. While the town remains a hub of academic and civic life centered on Gettysburg College and the High Sch, the surrounding landscape of Cumberland and Mount Pleasant townships reveals a mix of agricultural heritage and modern expansion. Residential growth is evident near Lake Heritage, while older rural anchors like Two Taverns and the Hoffman Orphanage persist along the historic corridors of the Baltimore Pike and Emmitsburg Road.
