About this map

Stewartstown and the surrounding borderlands of York, Harford, and Baltimore counties are defined by a complex network of stream branches and small settlements in this recent survey. The landscape is heavily dissected by the tributaries of Deer Creek, including Third Mine Br, Jackson Br, and Plumtree Br. This water-rich geography supported historical industry, evidenced by landmarks like Amos Mill and Ivory Mill. The map documents a cluster of crossroad communities such as Norrisville, West Liberty, and Stablersville, which maintain their distinct identities even as residential developments like Shawsville Acres appear.

Local history is preserved through the locations of Hopewell Cem and McKendree Cem, alongside geographic features like Church Lane Spring and Wiley Falls. The presence of the Little Deer Cr Reservoir Site suggests ongoing water management and planning in this rural-suburban interface. The intricate road system, from Woollen Mill Rd to Old York Rd, reflects generations of movement across the Pennsylvania-Maryland state line.
