1992 Map of Quarryville

About this map

The Strasburg RR anchors this agricultural corridor of Lancaster County, cutting through the heart of the landscape between Strasburg and Quarryville. This 1992 photorevised map preserves the dense network of rural infrastructure that has long defined the region, from the Fish Hatchery near New Providence to the numerous one-room schoolhouses like Sandstone Sch and North Star Sch. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of Pequea Creek and the prominent rise of Mine Ridge, marking a distinct shift from the fertile valley bottoms to the more wooded upland heights of Eden and East Drumore townships. Social life is centered around institutions such as the Quarryville Presbyterian Home and the Lampeter-Strasburg High School, while specialized agricultural features like the Grain Elevator and various Grain Storage Bins illustrate the area's continued reliance on the local harvest economy.
