1899 Map of Harrisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

Harrisburg anchors the southern end of this topographical study, shown during a period of significant industrial and institutional growth. The capital city is depicted alongside the State Lunatic Asylum and the expanding footprints of Penbrook and Progress. The Susquehanna River serves as the central artery, revealing a complex transition from water-based transit to rail. This shift is evidenced by the presence of the Susquehanna Div. Canal (Abandoned), which traces the eastern bank near Fort Hunter, while the Pennsylvania Railroad and Philadelphia and Reading Railroad define the contemporary commerce routes.
