About this map

Stewartstown anchors the southern portion of this York County landscape, where the traditional agricultural economy is reflected in the numerous named mills situated along the local waterways. Water power once defined the character of these valleys, as seen at Sechrist Mill, Bacon Mill, Cross Mill, and Grove Mill. These sites, along with settlements like Felton and Winterstown, highlight a pattern of small-scale industry and rural hamlets connected by a dense network of country roads such as Daugherty Rd and Muddy Creek Forks Rd.

The terrain is drained by the branches of the Muddy Creek, including the North Br Muddy Cr and South Br Muddy Cr. These stream valleys create the undulating topography that supports both farmland and newer developments like the Pleasant Valley Golf Course. Smaller locales such as Hyson Hill, Rinely, and Brogueville appear alongside more modern intersections at Hopewell Center, showing the transition from early mill-based settlements to a contemporary rural-suburban mix.
