2019 Map of Harrisburg West

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape, serving as a massive natural boundary between the riverfront communities of Harrisburg, Lemoyne, and Wormleysburg on the east and the climbing terrain of Cove Mtn to the west. Several large islands, including McCormicks Island and City Island, break the river's flow near the many bridges that connect the growing suburbs. To the south, the winding Conodoguinet Creek meanders through Camp Hill and Good Hope, where Good Hope Mill stands as a point of local interest. This 2019 survey documents a densely developed region where modern infrastructure, such as the Pennsylvania Judicial Center, sits alongside older heritage sites like the Harris Burial Ground and the Mount Zion United Methodist Church. The map effectively shows how the steep ridgelines of Blue Mountain and Second Mountain have funneled transit and settlement along the river corridor.
