2010 Map of Parkesburg

About this map

The borough of Parkesburg serves as a central hub in this corner of Chester County, surrounded by a landscape of small agricultural settlements and historically significant meeting places. To the west, the towns of Atglen and Christiana mark the corridor toward Lancaster County, while the Sadsbury Meeting House and Upper Octoraro church stand as landmarks of long-standing community foundations. The terrain is intricately carved by several waterways, including Valley Creek and the East Branch Octoraro Creek, which historically supported local industry as evidenced by the Parkesburg Iron Company Dam. From the crossroads of Cochranville in the south to the clustered heights of Pomeroy Heights in the east, the map reveals a network of old roads like Strasburg Rd and Limeville Rd that continue to define the movement through this rural-to-suburban landscape.
