2014 Map of Tradesville

About this map

The Tradesville area in Lancaster County sits at the intersection of long-standing rural routes and local watercourses, just south of the North Carolina border. This landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Lynches River, with Buffalo Cr and Lanes Cr carving out the local topography. The settlement pattern is anchored by crossroads communities and rural landmarks that reflect the area's social history, including Trinity, Stewart Crossroads, and Wolf Pond Cross Roads. Genealogists will find particular value in the presence of Starnes Cemetery and Tabernacle Cem, along with Trinity Church, which serve as physical markers of the region's early families. The network of local roads, such as Plyler Mill Rd and Walters Mill Rd, points to the historic importance of milling operations along these Piedmont streams.
