1912 Map of Mc Calls Ferry

About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts a deep, winding channel through the heart of this 1910 survey, serving as the border between Lancaster and York counties. This era reveals a river valley defined by intense rail activity and water-powered industry, where the Pennsylvania RR tracks hug the eastern shoreline near settlements like Safe Harbor and Pequea. The landscape is dotted with numerous mills and early infrastructure, including Erb's Mill and a Power Plant downstream from McCalls Ferry. Away from the river, the uplands of Manor and Marticville townships are thick with small country schools like Mylin School and Alt Hope School, alongside centers of worship such as Bethel Church. The map provides a detailed look at the rural road network and the positioning of vanished stations like Shenks Ferry Sta before modern changes altered the river's flow.
