This aero-view print of Terre Hill, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1894. The mica rich soil of Lancaster County afforded much grain and tobacco production during the 1800's.
After moral considerations of the product itself were set aside, tobacco began to be grown and processed to great extent throughout the region. Terre Hill was a cigar manufacturing center in the 1890's.
Various fruits were also grown in this region such as raspberries, blackberries and cherries. The chestnut is native to the area.
The map looking southwest towards New Holland includes Terre Hill’s streets and buildings of 1894.
