An old quarry apparently in limestone, possibly at 39 degrees 51' 15" N and 71 degrees 1' 55", based on Google Earth images of a large pond next to what looks like an old abandoned cement plant on Frock Drive and Brickyard Road with lots of white disturbed ground around it. Possibly active in the 1940s.
Manager's note: New Oxford is in Adams County. The coordinates above are in the Atlantic Ocean. Perhaps: 39Β°51'15.85"N, 77Β°01'55.01"W
