About this map

Lititz serves as the focal point of this Lancaster County landscape, characterized by its grid of residential streets and the prominent Linden Hall Sch campus. The surrounding countryside in Warwick and Elizabeth townships reflects a classic Pennsylvania settlement pattern of small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks. Numerous houses of worship, such as Old Zion Ch, Emanuel Ch, and Longneckers Ch, are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts, often situated near local schools like the Fairview Sch or Webster Sch.

To the north, the terrain rises into the Furnace Hills, where the Horseshoe Trail winds through State Game Lands No 156. The industrial and transport history of the region is evident in the presence of the Conrail lines and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which cuts across the northern landscape near Poplar Grove. The drainage of Hammer Creek and Santo Domingo Creek provides the primary water network for the area's farms and early settlements like Brickerville and Brunnerville.
