About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this mid-century landscape, marked by the turbulent Conewago Falls and a series of large river islands including Brunner Island and Haldeman Island. Along the western banks, the industrial character of York Haven and Mount Wolf is evident, while the eastern shore at Bainbridge reflects a terrain shaped by Locust Grove Quarries and other mineral extraction sites.

Heavy rail infrastructure follows the river's path, with the Pennsylvania Railroad connecting these river towns. Deep in the southern hills near Codorus Creek, the presence of the Codorus Furnace speaks to the region's long iron-working heritage. The survey also documents the expansion of suburbs like Emigsville and Pleasureville, alongside established community landmarks such as St Pauls Ch and several family-named burial grounds like Haldeman Cem.
