1956 Map of Columbia East

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Columbia and the industrial corridor of West Hempfield stand prominently along the banks of the Susquehanna River Lake Clarke in this mid-century survey. The landscape is a complex mix of established borough life and the expanding infrastructure of the 1950s, marked by the prominent lines of Conrail and the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the terrain. Evidence of the region's agricultural roots and small-town expansion is visible in the clusters of schools and churches, including the St Josephs Academy and rural landmarks like Habecker Ch.
