1956 Map of Columbia East

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Columbia serves as the industrial and transport anchor for this area of Lancaster County, positioned where the Penn Central and Reading railroads converge near the Susquehanna River Lake Clarke. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from the traditional agrarian patterns of Manor and East Hempfield townships into a mid-century suburban and commercial corridor. Prominent landmarks such as the St Anns Home, St Josephs Academy, and Hampfield High Sch reflect the community's established social infrastructure.
