2010 Map of Hampton

About this map

Conewago Creek and its many tributaries, including Beaverdam Creek and Swift Run, define the rolling drainage patterns of this Adams County landscape. The settlement of Hampton serves as a central hub, while the residential development surrounding Lake Meade in the north represents a modern shift in land use compared to the established rural centers like Newchester and Waldheim. Local history is preserved in the naming of roads and landmarks, such as the Round Hill Post Office near the prominent Round Hill terrain feature. The map captures a transition from traditional agricultural and small-town footprints to larger water-resource management projects, evidenced by Lake Meade Dam and Browns Dam. This network of small communities—Amatus, Boulder, and Five Points—illustrates the density of early Pennsylvania crossroads settlements.
