2010 Map of Harrisburg East

About this map

Harrisburg Cemetery and Mount Moriah Cemetery anchor the historic burial grounds of this suburban landscape, showing the transition from the dense urban grid of the state capital to the sprawling residential developments of Forest Hills and Penbrook. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is on full display here, dominated by the massive interchange of the Capital Beltway and the industrial footprint of Rutherford Yards. While the modern interstate system carves through the terrain, older natural boundaries persist, defined by the winding paths of Paxton Creek, Spring Creek, and Asylum Run. Local history and genealogy are deeply etched into the land at Shoops Cemetery and Prospect Hill Cemetery, while civic spaces like Koons Memorial Park and the Reservoir Park Overlook provide community landmarks amidst the northward expansion toward Blue Mountain.
