1964 Map of York Haven

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape, its wide channel punctuated by substantial landforms like Brunner Island and Haldeman Island. Along the western bank, the industrial and residential character of York Haven, Mount Wolf, and Manchester reflects the development patterns of the mid-20th century. The Penn Central rail line tracks the river's edge, serving as a corridor for the many industrial sites, including numerous quarries near Bainbridge and Billmeyer. This 1972 photorevised edition records the expansion of infrastructure such as the widespread pipelines crossing the river valley and the emergence of suburban developments like Conewago Heights and Woodland View. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Codorus Furnace and several family burying grounds, including Haldeman Cem and Goods Cem, which suggest the area's deep agricultural and industrial roots.
