1992 Map of New Holland

About this map

New Holland stands as a central hub in this corner of Lancaster County, surrounded by a dense network of smaller agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks. The landscape is defined by the prominent ridge of Welsh Mountain to the east and the fertile lowlands drained by Pequea Creek and Muddy Run. This document meticulously tracks the cultural footprint of the area, from the manufacturing and rail operations of Conrail in the larger towns to the numerous country schools like Maple Grove Sch and Hickory Grove Sch that dot the crossroads. A complex irrigation and milling history is evident in the various branches of Millrace near Buyerstown and New Milltown. The map also captures the distinct layout of local communities, including the village of Intercourse and the religious landmarks that anchor the rural population, such as Zeltenreich Ch and Lady of Lourdes.
