1964 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

Harrisburg sits at the heart of this mid-century Pennsylvania corridor, where the Susquehanna River cuts through the ridges of the Appalachian Mountains. The landscape is defined by the sharp parallel lines of the Allegheny Mountains, including Peters Mountain and Blue Mountain, which separate fertile valleys from dense woodlands like the Bald Eagle State Forest. This era shows a heavily industrialized and militarized region, anchored by the massive Indiantown Gap Military Reservation and logistics hubs like the Naval Supply Depot and Letterkenny Ordnance Depot.
