About this map

The Pigeon Hills rise in the northern portion of this York County landscape, looking down upon the dense urban corridors of Hanover and Parkville. This 2016 survey illustrates the extensive residential growth spanning from Pennville to Midway, while the eastern terrain is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Marburg within Codorus State Park. The map preserves the names of the region's agricultural and industrial heritage through numerous mill sites, including Menges Mills, Kraft Mill, and Fuhrmans Mill.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds such as Mount Olivet Cem, Rest Haven Cem, and the smaller Mumma Cem. The geography also details the transition from the bustling streets of Hanover to smaller outlying settlements like Iron Ridge, Jacobs Mills, and Porters Sideling, showing how the modern suburban footprint integrates with older rural place-names and the winding course of the Codorus Creek.
