Geocache Description:


I was going through some old maps in the archives at the Lancaster County Historical Society and came across this strange one (see attachments). It looks almost accurate but there are a few details that don't match locally or historically. I couldn't find any author or creator credit besides the "///" in the corner, might be a type of signature or symbol. Regardless I thought it was interesting and wanted to share it. 

IMPORTANT: Cache within your limits and pay attention to the attributes. TOTT's may be required. Final can be retrieved with feet on the ground with use of a TOTT. Please replace as found and happy caching!

Thanks to cwalford2 for his contribution on making this cache possible.
