About this map

The agrarian and industrial landscape of Adams County, Pennsylvania, is meticulously documented in this 1944 War Department survey. The region is anchored by the borough of Mc Sherrystown and the village of New Oxford, surrounded by a dense network of township divisions including Oxford, Conewago, and Mount Pleasant. The local economy of the mid-1940s is evident in the presence of the Alwine Brick Company, Hanover Quarry, and the Adams Stone Products Co Quarry. Education and faith are well-represented by numerous rural schoolhouses such as Whitehall School and Valley Grove School, along with landmarks like the Conewago Chapel and St Joseph Academy.
