1899 Map of Harrisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

Harrisburg sits at the base of a dramatic series of ridges where the Susquehanna River cuts through the Appalachian mountains. This late 19th-century landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the industrial era, featuring the Pennsylvania Canal (Susquehanna Div) and several major rail lines including the Northern Central R.R. and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The map captures the city's northward expansion toward the State Lunatic Asylum and the emerging suburbs of Progress and Penbrook.
