1956 Map of Columbia East

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Susquehanna River Lake Clarke defines the southwestern edge of this landscape, where Shad Island sits just offshore from Washington Boro. The terrain is characterized by the prominent rise of Chestnut Hill, which separates the river valley from the inland farming communities of West Hempfield and East Hempfield. Transportation networks are densely woven across the quadrangle, featuring the competing lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railroad, alongside major thoroughfares like the Lincoln Highway and the Harrisburg Pike.
