The Civil War-era Loucks Mill along the Codorus Creek north of York, Pennsylvania, was destroyed in a fire in 1864 and was replaced by a larger facility. This old postcard shows the location of the mill and mill dam.
This 1938 aerial photograph shows the Codorus Creek to the left center, with Loucks Road running east-west and Loucks Mill Road and Sherman Street intersecting it from the south. Zachariah K. Loucks and Henry I. Loucks co-owned a large grist mill along the Codorus which was operated and managed by the Small brothers. The Loucks family also owned other mills and properties, including a chop mill along Mill Creek off of today's Loucks Mill Road.
Land owned by Z. K. Loucks and nearby property owned by Samuel Hively were the campsites of the First Louisiana Brigade, the much feared "Louisiana Tigers" of Harry T. Hays. This brigade's reputation for unruliness was so great that Jubal Early during the Gettysburg Campaign never allowed them to camp in a town - they were always kept on the outskirts.
