1899 Map of Harrisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

Harrisburg anchors this late 19th-century survey, illustrating a critical juncture where the Susquehanna River cuts through a series of dramatic water gaps. The landscape is defined by the rigid parallel ridges of Peters Mountain, Third Mountain, and Blue Mountain, which forced transportation routes into narrow corridors. This era captures the transition of Pennsylvania commerce; while the Northern Central R. R. and Pennsylvania Railroad dominate the riverbanks, the remnants of the Pennsylvania Canal (Abandoned) and Susquehanna Canal (Abandoned) are still visible as fading infrastructure.
