1997 Map of Columbia East

About this map

The Susquehanna River and its wide Lake Clarke reservoir define the southwestern corner of this Lancaster County landscape. The riverbank is dominated by the industrial and residential grid of Columbia, where Mt Bethel Ch and Columbia High Sch stand near the busy waterfront. Inland, the terrain rises into the prominent Chestnut Hill, a ridge that separates the river valley from a dense network of suburban and rural settlements. This era shows significant development between the established boroughs of Mount Joy and Mountville, with the landscape transitioning from active farmland to residential clusters like Salunga and Landisville.
