1899 Map of Harrisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

Harrisburg anchors the southern edge of this survey, shown at a time of significant industrial and transport evolution along the Susquehanna River. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic parallel ridges of Blue Mountain, Second Mountain, and Peters Mountain, which forced early infrastructure into narrow gaps. Evidence of a passing era is visible in the Pennsylvania Canal (Abandoned) and Susquehanna Canal (Abandoned), which once powered the regional economy but were being supplanted by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Northern Central RR.
