1947 Map of Harrisburg West

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a wide path through the ridges of Blue Mountain and Second Mountain. This survey reveals the intense industrial and transportation activity concentrated along the riverbanks, where the Pennsylvania Railroad and the massive Rockville Bridge underscore the area's role as a vital transit corridor. On the western bank, the railyards at Enola and the riverfront settlements of Marysville and West Fairview sit in sharp contrast to the steep, wooded terrain of the water gaps.
