2011 Map of Tradesville

About this map

The Lynches River and its numerous tributaries, including Buffalo Creek and Polecat Creek, define the landscape of this rural Lancaster County borderland. Several small settlements anchor the crossroads of the region, including Tradesville, Stewart Crossroads, and Wolf Pond Cross Roads. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific landmarks like Tabernacle Cemetery and the northern settlement of Trinity. The transport network is characterized by family-named routes such as Gulledge Parker Rd and Gus Eubanks Rd, suggesting a landscape deeply tied to multi-generational land ownership. Along the watercourses, engineering features like the Perry Lake Dam and Carnes Lake Dam indicate localized water management in a region defined by the drainage of Silver Run and the North Branch Wildcat Creek.
