2014 Map of Rising Sun
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Maryland and Pennsylvania meet at the historic Mason-Dixon line in this detailed study of the borderlands between Lancaster, Chester, and Cecil counties. The town of Rising Sun serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of residential developments and historic crossroads like Colora and Nottingham. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Octoraro Creek and the Octoraro Lakes to the west, while numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the W Nottingham Meetinghouse Cem and Rising Sun Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The presence of Lynch's Landing Airport and the intersection of various regional pikes underscore the area's role as a transit corridor between the rural farmlands and growing suburban communities.
