1912 Map of Quarryville

About this map

Quarryville and Strasburg serve as the primary hubs in this early twentieth-century survey of southern Lancaster County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of township roads and several distinct rail lines. The Pennsylvania RR and its Susquehanna Valley Branch cut through the central hills, while the Peach Bottom RR and Oxford and Southern RR serve the southern farming communities. Local industry is anchored by the Nickel Mines and the nearby Nickel Mines Run, while rural life centers on an exceptionally high concentration of small schoolhouses such as Winter Hill School, North Star School, and Mars Hill School.
