2016 Map of Harrisburg East

About this map

Blue Mountain looms over the northern edge of this suburban landscape, where the dense grid of Harrisburg transitions into the expanding residential developments of Dauphin County. The terrain is defined by several watercourses including Fishing Cr, Paxton Cr, and Asylum Run, which carve through the rising elevations north of the city. This 2016 survey captures a significant density of memorial and educational sites, from the historic Harrisburg Cem and Paxtang Cem to campuses like the Widener Univ Harrisburg Campus and Keystone Technical Institute. The complex highway interchanges around Progress and Colonial Park illustrate the modern transportation infrastructure that has integrated these historic settlements into a continuous metropolitan corridor. Several distinct communities, such as Linglestown and Paxtonia, maintain their identities even as the regional footprint of the state capital grows eastward.
