About this map

Harrisburg’s eastern expansion is clearly defined in this 21st-century topographic study, where the urban grid meets the rising slopes of Blue Mountain. The landscape is notably dense with commemorative sites, including the expansive Harrisburg Cem, Prospect Hill Cem, and the venerable Paxton Presbyterian Churchyard, serving as a vital record for genealogical research in Dauphin County.

Suburban growth is anchored by established communities such as Progress, Paxtonia, and Colonial Park. These neighborhoods are bounded by a complex network of waterways like Asylum Run and Slotznick Run that flow toward Paxton Cr. Educational and professional institutions, including the Widener University Harrisburg Campus and Keystone Technical Institute, illustrate the modern infrastructure of the state capital's periphery.
