1899 Map of Harrisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

Harrisburg anchors this landscape at a time when the capital's footprint was largely concentrated along the Susquehanna River, with the State Lunatic Asylum marking the northern edge of the city. To the north, the geography is defined by a striking sequence of parallel ridges, including Blue Mountain, Second Mountain, and Peters Mountain. These natural barriers forced industrial and transport development into narrow corridors, notably where the river cuts through the gaps near Dauphin and Marysville.
