About this map

McSherrystown and its surrounding borough clusters define this portion of Adams County, where dense residential grids give way to the sprawling agricultural landscape of the Piedmont. The map documents a significant concentration of religious and genealogical sites, including the Conewago Chapel Basilica Cem and Annunciation of Blessed Virgin Mary Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted Catholic heritage of the region.

Infrastructure and topography shape the movement between New Oxford and Littlestown, with the South Branch Conewago Creek and S Br Conewago Cr winding through the valley. Natural landmarks like Pigeon Hill and the provocatively named Mount Misery overlook a network of traditional farm roads and modern connectors. From the small settlement at Berlin Junction to the industrial edges of Midway, the map provides a precise record of the land use patterns and historic churchyards that anchor these Pennsylvania communities.
