2019 Map of Kirkwood

About this map

Octoraro Lake serves as a central geographic anchor where the West Branch Octoraro Creek and East Branch Octoraro Creek converge near the boundary of Lancaster and Chester counties. This agricultural landscape is defined by a dense network of small settlements and religious landmarks, including the Wesley United Methodist Church Cem and the Eastland Friends Burial Ground. The layout of the region reflects its deep roots in various denominations, with the Andrews Bridge Mennonite Cem and Colerain Baptist Church Cem serving local communities. Small crossroads like Kirkwood and Puseyville connect rural homesteads via named routes such as Morrison Mill Rd and Pumping Station Rd, while larger hubs like Oxford and Nottingham appear along the southeastern edge. Many place names, such as Kirks Mills and Oak Shade, suggest the milling and timbering origins of these interior Pennsylvania townships.
