About this map

The suburban expansion of West York and York dominates the landscape of this late-twentieth-century survey, revealing a network of residential developments and commercial corridors. The historic Lincoln Highway serves as a primary artery through West Manchester, passing the York Airport and a nostalgic Drive-in Theater near Thomasville. This era captures the transition of rural townships into modern communities while maintaining numerous landmarks of local heritage, including the St Pauls Union Ch and several small rural schools like Township Sch No 1 and Heindel Sch.

Significant water management is evidenced by the Indian Rock Dam Spillway, which influences the flow of Codorus Creek south of Graybill. While towns like Dover and Spring Grove anchor the corners of the sheet, the interior is dotted with legacy family sites and burial grounds such as Strayers Cem, Wolf Cem, and Hershey Cem. The presence of a Rock Quarry and various athletic fields reflects the industrial and social utility of the land during this period of growth.
