1992 Map of Leola

About this map

The Conestoga Creek and Pequea Creek watersheds define the landscape of this portion of Lancaster County, where the agricultural traditions of Upper Leacock and East Lampeter townships are clearly visible. The map documents the dense concentration of small rural schoolhouses and country churches that historically anchored these communities, including Carpenter Ch and Groffdale Ch. A notable pattern of development is shown along the Philadelphia Pike and Lincoln Highway, where the village of Bird in Hand sits amidst a network of farm roads and small settlements like Soudersburg and Gordonville. Revisions marked in purple highlight modern infrastructure such as the Substation and developments near Leola, while the persistence of names like Smoketown and Witmer reflects the deep-rooted settlement history of the Pennsylvania Dutch country.
