About this map

Manheim serves as the primary population center in this part of Lancaster County, characterized by a grid of residential and industrial lots surrounded by a network of family-named roads and agricultural lands. North of the borough, the landscape transitions into the wooded elevations of Governor Dick Hill and Conewago Hill, where the recreational character of the region is evident at Mount Gretna and the Penryn Park YMCA Camp.

Several family cemeteries, including the Shumaker Cemetery, Earhart Cemetery, and Kauffman Cemetery, are scattered across the rural landscape, offering valuable data for genealogists tracing local lineage. The drainage pattern is dominated by Chiques Creek and its many tributaries like Rife Run and Brubaker Run. Local aviation is represented by two small facilities, Metzler Airport and Steigel Valley Air Park, while the northern border features the waters of Conewago Lake and Lake Duffy.
