About this map

York serves as the industrial and transit anchor in the northwestern corner of this survey, where the Northern Central RR meets the winding Codorus Creek. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of the city to a hinterland of small agricultural and manufacturing hamlets connected by early pikes like the York and Wrightsville Pike. Local industry is evidenced by sites such as Margaretta Furnace and several scattered processing hubs like Leinhart Mill and Reynolds Mill.

South of the city, the Maryland and Pennsylvania RR snakes through the hills to reach Red Lion, Dallastown, and Yoe, which were developing as significant population centers at this time. Family-named landmarks and institutions provide deep genealogical value, including Brenneman School, St James Church, and the Paradise Jacobus PO. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the era’s growth, such as the York Water Co Pumping Station and the reservoir at Lake Williams.
