1954 Map of Hanover

About this map

Hanover and its surroundings in southern York County reveal a landscape transitioning from agricultural roots to a growing industrial and transportation hub. The town's expansion is evident in the dense street grid and numerous educational facilities, including Eichelburg High Sch and Hanover Street Sch. Beyond the borough limits, the economy is tied to the rails and waterways, with the Western Maryland railroad serving outlying points like Menges Mills and Porters Siding.
