At the Lancasterhistory site I did not find any maps. How can I get to the maps? -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: James Stokes <james_l_stokes@yahoo.com> > The Lancaster County Historical Society has a township map as well as a > list of the townships and when they were formed, this for townships currently in > Lancaster County.. (If you download the map and list make sure the list of > townships are numbered, it looks like its easy to download the list but the > numbers that help you identify the townships on the map don't download). > http://lancasterhistory.org > > I've never see a list of the townships that went to other counties.
