About this map

The dense agricultural and industrial landscape of Lancaster County comes alive on this 1943 survey, showing the complex intersection of rail and road networks during World War II. The southern reaches are anchored by the urban expansion of Lancaster, featuring landmarks such as Rocky Spring Park and the intersection of the Philadelphia Div and the New Holland Electric lines. Further north, the terrain transitions into the forested elevations of South Mountain and Governor Dick Hill, while the Susquehanna River defines the southwestern boundary.
