| About the Illustrated Historical Atlas of Lancaster County |
|
You’ll be able to explore every inch of historic Lancaster County thanks to our state-of-the-art, ultra-high-resolution scanning of the original 16” x 23” atlas, and top-quality, full color printing on premium stock. The more-convenient 12” x 18” size is large enough to retain all the map detail—from every house number to every trolley track—yet easier to carry and display. All 85 maps from the original Atlas are faithfully reproduced, including 6 pages of detailed views of Lancaster City. You’ll also find close-ups of many other towns throughout the County—including Columbia, Adamstown, Christiana, Elizabethtown, Lititz, Manheim, Marietta, Washington Boro, Denver, and many more. To give you a better idea of what Lancaster County “looked like” throughout the 20th Century, we have included hundreds of rare photos selected from the archives of the Lancaster County Historical Society and many other local historical societies, preservation groups and private collectors. Following each map you’ll find a fascinating array of images illustrating that specific township, city or borough. Many of these photos have never been re-published, and will help you appreciate the beauty and vitality that makes Lancaster County so special. Do you think your great-grandparents owned a farm somewhere in Lancaster County—but not sure where? To aid genealogists and other researchers, we have invested hundreds of hours to ensure the Illustrated Historical Atlas of Lancaster County is fully indexed. Simply look up family names, business names and other key landmarks in the index, and you’ll find the page number and quadrant listed for that item. As an added bonus, we have included more than a dozen pages featuring rarely-seen images of Lancaster County arranged by these popular themes:
