About this map

Carlisle serves as the central hub of this Pennsylvania landscape, where the dense grid of the borough meets the sprawling Carlisle Barracks and the Carlisle Fairgrounds. The topography is defined by the winding course of Conodoguinet Creek to the north and Yellow Breeches Creek to the south, framing a region defined by historical institutions and agricultural transitions. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial sites, from Union Cem and Westminster Cem to the County Home Cem east of town.

Transportation corridors like the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Conrail lines intersect near the historic Middlesex junction, while rural outposts like Boiling Springs and Hickorytown reveal the 20th-century settlement patterns of South Middleton. From the Farmers Academy in the southwest to the Carlisle Airfield, the map documents a community balancing its military heritage with local industry and education.
