2010 Map of Kirkwood

About this map

Octoraro Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the central geographic feature of this landscape, where the West Branch Octoraro Creek and East Branch Octoraro Creek converge. The area is defined by numerous small crossroad settlements and hamlets such as Kirkwood, Little Britain, and Spruce Grove, connected by a dense network of local roads like Noble Rd and Street Rd. Evidence of the region’s agricultural and milling history is found in place names such as Puseyville, Kirks Mills, and Andrews Bridge. Significant local landmarks include Camp Tweedale on the eastern shore of the lake and the Pine Grove Dam. The map also details local genealogy and community sites, including Calvary Cemetery and Nottingham Cemetery, alongside several smaller communities like Elim, Oak Hill, and Summerhill that dot the southern Lancaster County terrain.
