About this map

The Gettysburg National Military Park dominates this landscape, preserving the complex topography of the 1863 battlefield. Notable tactical landmarks such as Little Round Top, Cemetery Hill, and the labyrinthine boulders of Devils Den are meticulously detailed, alongside the State Memorial and various observation towers. Surrounding the park, the borough of Gettysburg serves as a hub for both education and local government, housing Gettysburg College, the Courthouse, and schools like the James Gettys Sch.

Beyond the immediate battlefield, the map captures the rural character of southeastern Adams County. Small settlements like Bonneauville, Two Taverns, and Barlow are linked by historic routes including the Baltimore Pike and Taneytown Road. The drainage patterns of Rock Creek and White Run define the agricultural valleys, while landmarks like the Hoffman Orphanage and Pine Bank Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Cumberland and Mount Pleasant townships.
