About this map

McSherrystown and its neighboring boroughs of New Oxford and Littlestown anchor this detailed 2019 survey of the Adams County landscape. The region's deep religious roots are visible through an extensive network of parish infrastructure, including the Conewago Chapel Basilica Cem and the Saint Joseph Academy. This area of Pennsylvania reflects a long-established agricultural and small-industrial pattern, where crossroads like Cross-Keys and Irishtown connect larger hubs via historic routes like the York Rd and Baltimore Pike.

Waterways like the South Branch Conewago Creek and Alloway Cr wind through the terrain, passing landmarks such as John's Burnt Mill Bridge. To the east, the topography rises significantly at Pigeon Hill and Mount Misery, providing a distinct natural boundary to the valley floor. Researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, such as the Hostetters Meeting House, which preserve the genealogy of these local communities.
