About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this turn-of-the-century landscape, acting as a corridor for the heavy industry and transit that defined central Pennsylvania. The map illustrates the complex evolution of transport, showing the Northern Central R.R. and Pennsylvania Railroad running alongside the remnants of the Susquehanna Canal (Abandoned) and the Pennsylvania Canal. The industrial character of the era is evident in features like the Heckton Mills and the C.V.R.R. Terminal.
