1922 Map of Hanover

About this map

Hanover and the surrounding townships of Heidelberg and Codorus serve as a hub for industry and transport in York County during the early 1920s. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Western Maryland Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad, which facilitated the movement of goods from local operations like Menges Mills, Kraft Mill, and Rohrbaugh Mill. The presence of numerous small rural schools, such as the John Mummert School and Pickings School, alongside landmarks like Iron Ridge and Marker Ford, illustrates a densely settled agricultural and industrial network before modern consolidation.
