About this map

New Holland and its surrounding townships exemplify the enduring agricultural and religious character of Lancaster County. This modern survey illustrates a landscape deeply connected to its heritage, where dozens of family graveyards and denominational burial grounds—such as the Joseph Rutter and Barbara Glenn Family Graveyard and New Holland Old Order Mennonite Cem—are preserved alongside active settlements. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Muddy Run and Mill Creek valleys to the rising elevations of Laurel Hill and Welsh Mtn.

Small crossroads communities like Intercourse, Blue Ball, and New Milltown maintain their historical footprints, anchored by landmarks like the Hershey Mennonite Church Cem and the Garden Spot Village Memorial Gardens. The map also traces the winding courses of Pequea Creek and its many tributaries, which have historically defined the property boundaries and milling sites of this productive region.
