1969 Map of Harrisburg East

About this map

Blue Mountain forms a prominent northern boundary to this landscape, while the southern reaches show the intense post-war expansion of Harrisburg and its surrounding townships. The suburban growth of the late 1960s is evident in the sprawling residential developments of Colonial Park and Progress, contrasted against the older established boroughs like Paxtang and Penbrook. The map captures a high concentration of civic and social infrastructure, from the large State Hospital complex to numerous local institutions such as Holy Name of Jesus Ch and the County Home and Hospital.
