About this map

Wellsville and its surrounding townships in York County reveal a landscape defined by the convergence of several major watercourses, including Conewago Creek and Bermudian Creek. The geography is shaped by prominent peaks such as Flat Mountain, Round Top, and the Dover Mountains, which create a natural boundary for the sprawling State Game Lands No 242. A significant portion of the eastern terrain is occupied by Gifford Pinchot State Park, where Pinchot Lake sits as a central recreational feature.

Rural industry and local community history are visible through landmarks like Detters Mill and several historic country churches, including St Michaels Ch and Mt Olivet Ch. Small settlements like Rossville, Kralltown, and Pinetown are connected by a network of local roads, including Straight Hill Road. Aviation interest is noted by the presence of Kampel Airport and a separate landing strip near Wolf Run. The map provides excellent detail for genealogists, with numerous named burial grounds such as Chestnut Grove Cem and Benedicts Cem clearly marked.
