About this map

Codorus Creek and its many branches, including the South Branch Codorus Creek, wind through this landscape just west of the city center. The map reveals the dense residential expansion of York into surrounding communities like West York, Shiloh, and Weigelstown. For local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its density of burial grounds, ranging from the Wolf (Loucks) Cem near the commercial corridors to the more rural Strayers Cem and Wolf Church Cem.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of major roads and aviation sites like York Airport and Gilbert Airport. A fascinating local detail is the preserved name of the Old Trolley Line road, a nod to the region's former interurban transit network. Smaller outlying hamlets like Taxville, Nashville, and Stoverstown remain distinct points in the landscape, even as suburban growth connects them toward the larger urban hub.
