1899 Map of Harrisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1908

About this map

Harrisburg sits at a critical geographic junction where the Susquehanna River cuts through a series of dramatic ridges, including Peters Mountain and Blue Mountain. Surveyed in the late 19th century, this landscape reveals an complex transportation network of the Northern Central R.R., the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the already abandoned Pennsylvania Canal. The industrial and civic development of the state capital is anchored by major landmarks like the State Lunatic Asylum and the historic site of Fort Hunter.
