About this map

York anchor the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the Rose Hill Cem stands as a local landmark. Moving southeast, the terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Fishing Cr and its various forks, such as Tools Fork and Stony Fork. These streams shaped the development of smaller settlements like Tirzah, Newport, and Delphia, which are linked by historic routes like Old York Rd.

Water conservation and management structures are prominent features, with the Fishing Creek WCD Dam Number 50 and associated sites marking the modern landscape. In the southern reaches, Guthries and McConnells sit near the headwaters of Love Cr, while Long Hill rises above the basin of Little Turkey Cr. The transition from the established streets of York to the more rural clusters of homes and farms reflects the area's long-standing agricultural and residential character.
