1953 Map of Littlestown

About this map

Littlestown sits as the primary hub in this mid-century survey, positioned where the Pennsylvania railroad line cuts through Germany township. The landscape transitions southward across the Pennsylvania Maryland state line into Union township, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Pipe Creek and its tributaries. This borderland region is notably dense with historical milling sites, including Menges Mill, Arters Mill, and Wolfs Mill, suggesting a long-standing rural economy tied to the local waterways.
