2019 Map of Safe Harbor

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape, serving as the border between Lancaster and York counties. Along the eastern banks, the map reveals a network of small, established farming communities and family-named cemeteries. Genealogy researchers will find several significant burial sites, including the Herr Graveyard, John Mann Cem, and the Hostetter Miller Neff Cem. The terrain rises sharply from the river at Turkey Hill, with numerous creeks like Wisslers Run and Fishing Cr cutting through the uplands. Near the southern edge, the historic river crossing at Shenks Ferry and the village of Safe Harbor indicate the area's long-standing connection to the river's path. Other notable inland settlements like Central Manor and Highville are connected by roads such as Blue Rock Rd and Letort Rd, reflecting the enduring rural character of the region.
