2016 Map of New Holland

About this map

The borough of New Holland serves as a central hub in this survey of eastern Lancaster County, where the dense grid of residential streets like N Railroad Ave and E Conestoga St gives way to the productive agricultural landscape of the Pennsylvania Dutch country. This region is characterized by a high concentration of historic hamlets and villages, including the uniquely named Intercourse, Blue Ball, and Paradise. The southern portion of the map is defined by the corridor of the Strasburg RR and the winding course of Pequea Creek, marking a transition from the industrial and commercial activity in the north to the fertile valley floors below Welsh Mtn. The landscape is etched with numerous small waterways such as Muddy Run, Umbles Run, and Groff Run, which supported the early mills and farms of the area's diverse settlements, from Fetterville to Leaman Place.
