About this map

The borough of Lititz serves as the focal point of this northern Lancaster County landscape, characterized by a dense network of roads radiating from the town center toward neighboring villages. The area’s historical hydrology is well-defined by the Lititz Spring and the southward flow of Lititz Run, while the northern hills are marked by the Cornwall Lookout Tower near Eagle Rock. A series of small settlements such as Brunnerville, Rothsville, and Brickerville illustrate the region's traditional Pennsylvania Dutch country settlement patterns, where small crossroads communities developed around local industry and agriculture.

Transportation infrastructure includes the southern edge of the Lancaster Airport and the path of the Horseshoe Trl traversing the northern ridges. Significant water features like the Speedwell Forge Dam on Hammer Cr and various runs including Furnace Run and Santo Domingo Cr reveal how the drainage basin shaped the placement of early homesteads and mills throughout the Warwick and Elizabeth township areas.
