1912 Map of Quarryville

About this map

Quarryville serves as a central hub in this Southern Lancaster County landscape, where the Quarryville Electric Road and multiple branches of the Pennsylvania RR converge. The area is defined by its agrarian and early industrial character, noted by the presence of Nickel Mines to the northeast and several milling operations such as Wheatland Mills and Conners Mill. The terrain is etched by a dense network of watercourses, including Pequea Creek and the Susquehanna River at the southwestern corner, which historically dictated the placement of important crossings like Kings Bridge and Kirks Bridge.
