About this map

Lake Marburg and the surrounding recreation lands of Codorus State Park dominate the landscape southeast of the urban center. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential expansion around Pennville and Parkville, while still preserving the many small, historic crossroads and industrial points that defined York County's early rural economy. Names like Menges Mills, Jacobs Mills, and Fuhrmans Mill reflect a long history of water-powered industry along the regional creeks.

The map also details the CSX rail corridor as it passes through Porters Sideling and Smiths Station, tracing the transportation network that linked these agricultural and milling centers. From the heights of the Pigeon Hills in the north to the family-named tracts of Bange Farms and Blooming Grove, the geography shows a community where modern suburban developments sit adjacent to established farming and timber lands. Smaller settlements such as Gnatstown and Ambau provide specific points of interest for local history and genealogical research.
