1998 Map of Hanover

About this map

Hanover serves as the dense urban anchor of this late 1990s survey, surrounded by a complex network of rural hamlets and water-driven history. The landscape transitions from the industrial activity at Kraft Mill and the aviation hub of Devener Airport to the expansive waters of Marburg Lake. This reservoir, contained within Codorus State Park, dramatically reshaped the local geography of Penn and Manheim townships. Evidence of the region’s milling heritage remains visible through sites like Menges Mills and Fuhrmans Mill, located along the winding courses of Menges Mills Creek and West Branch Codorus Creek. To the north, the terrain rises toward High Rock and Iron Ridge, while the CSX railroad corridor traces the historic path of commerce through Porters Sideling and Ambau. Numerous small educational and religious institutions, such as Staffers Sch and Wildasin Chapel, are scattered throughout the countryside, marking the established social fabric of York County's borderlands.
