About this map

The Conestoga River winds through this mid-1990s landscape, bordering the dense urban grid of Lancaster and its sprawling suburban reaches. The map highlights the city's role as an educational and industrial hub, featuring the campus of Franklin and Marshall College and the Stevens State Sch of Tech. North of the city center, the Stockyards and the Lancaster Airport reflect the region's commercial infrastructure, while the Conrail lines facilitate regional transport through neighborhoods like Dillerville and Rossmere.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landmarks such as the Woodward Hill Cemetery and the Conestoga Memorial Park (Cemetery). The map details the transition from the city's historic core at Penn Square to established outlying communities like Landis Valley and Neffsville. From the Immaculate Heart of Mary Monastery to the various parochial and public schools like McCaskey High Sch, the survey documents the social fabric of Lancaster County at the close of the 20th century.
