Map of a ten mile radius of central Lancaster County showing Lancaster city, Millersburg (now Millersville), Conestoga Indian Town, and Strasburg.
"A ten miles square, Lancaster Court-House being in the centre, and some part beyond it, actually surveyed 1786 and 1787 by me, William Reichenbach, in a manner as engineers use to take up special maps of countries, by compass and watch.
Of this square two large and more complete copies on royal paper, and in fair handwriting, with explanations and descriptions of the country, were sent to Congress when the inhabitants of Lancaster offered this place for a seat of the general government."
