1944 Map of Manchester
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Mason And Dixon Line bisects this mid-century landscape, separating York County, Pennsylvania, from Carroll County, Maryland. This borderland is defined by small agricultural settlements and a network of rural institutions, such as Mathias School and St Bartholomew Church in the northwest, and Jerusalem Church near the industrial site of Bachman Mills to the south. Water management is a prominent theme, centered on the Sheppard-Meyers Reservoir and the Hanover Impounding Dam, which capture the waters of the South Branch Conewago Creek. The terrain rises toward the east at Dug Hill Ridge, while the town of Manchester serves as a local hub, featuring a visible Water Tower and several cemeteries that provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in this historic border region.
