2019 Map of Hanover

About this map

Hanover serves as the primary urban hub on this Pennsylvania-Maryland borderland landscape, characterized by its grid of dense residential streets and the sprawling grounds of Mount Olivet Cem and Rest Haven Cem. The surrounding York County countryside is defined by the significant hydrological footprint of Lake Marburg and the protected lands of Codorus State Park. This reservoir system, which dominates the southeastern quadrant, reshaped the local geography of Marburg and the drainage of Codorus Cr. To the north, the terrain rises toward the Pigeon Hills, where landmarks like High Rock overlook a network of smaller communities such as Gnatstown and Menges Mills. The map documents a blend of established industrial sites like Kraft Mill and Fuhrmans Mill alongside the suburban expansion of Parkville and Pennville, illustrating the region's evolution from a milling economy to a modern residential and recreational center.
