About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape, serving as the historical and geographical boundary between York and Lancaster counties. Along its banks, the industrial and transport history of the region is evident at York Haven and Brunner Island, where the river's path is punctuated by numerous islands like Haldeman Island and Ely Island. The interior of York County reveals a dense network of established settlements, including the borough of Manchester and nearby Mount Wolf, which grew alongside the Norfolk Southern rail line passing through Wago Junction.

Deeply rooted in the area's early industrial heritage is Codorus Furnace, located near the confluence of Codorus Creek and the river. The topography shifts from the developed corridors of Emigsville to the more varied terrain of the Hellam Hills in the southeast. Genealogists can identify established burial sites such as Goods Cem and Haldeman Cem, while local historians can trace the course of older waterways like Conewago Creek and Black Gut.
