About this map

Mine Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this 1910 survey, providing a topographical backdrop to a region defined by its diverse transportation and industrial history. The area is heavily intersected by several branches of the Pennsylvania Railroad, including the Quarryville Branch and the Susquehanna Valley Branch, which served the local economy and mining interests at Nickel Mines. Along the waterways like Pequea Creek and West Branch Octoraro Creek, numerous mills such as Wheatland Mills and Conners Mill are documented, highlighting the early reliance on water power.
