About this map

The city of Lancaster anchors this 2016 survey, revealing a dense urban core and expanding suburban neighborhoods throughout Lancaster County. Historically significant burial grounds like Lancaster Cem and Woodward Hill Cem are clearly mapped alongside prominent educational institutions including the Lancaster Theological Seminary and the Thaddeus Stevens Coll of Technology. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Conestoga River and its many tributaries such as Little Conestoga Cr and Bachman Run.

Industrial and transit history remains visible through the alignment of the Pennsylvania RR and older landmarks like Florys Mill. The map documents numerous established communities and newer residential developments, from East Petersburg and Neffsville in the north to Bausman and West Ridge further south. The convergence of major routes like Us 30 and Us 222 illustrates the region's role as a modern transportation hub while preserving the names of local landmarks such as Canes Point and Chestnut Ridge.
