1999 Map of Seven Valleys

About this map

Seven Valleys and the surrounding townships of North Codorus and Springfield define a landscape shaped by the winding valleys of Codorus Creek and its many branches. This region in York County serves as a vital corridor for transportation and water resources, evidenced by the convergence of rail-influenced settlements like Hanover Junction, Seitzville, and Valley Junction. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridges such as Dug Hill Ridge and Saubel Hill, which separate fertile agricultural basins like Buffalo Valley. Local community life is anchored by traditional landmarks, including Zion Shaeffer Union Ch and St Jacobs Ch, alongside smaller crossroads such as Brodbecks and Sinsheim. The presence of the Sewage Treatment Plant near Spring Grove and various named store locations like Bowmans Store points to the continued functional and commercial evolution of these rural Pennsylvania valleys at the close of the century.
