1954 Map of West York
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The heavy rail corridors of the Western Maryland and the Penn Central dominate the landscape between West York and Thomasville, reflecting the mid-century industrial strength of the region. This 1954 survey, updated with revisions through 1973, tracks the suburban expansion of York as residential developments began to fill in the spaces between established rural communities like Weigelstown and Shiloh. The presence of several Golf Course locations and the growing York Airport signify a transition from a strictly agrarian economy toward modern recreation and transit.
