About this map

Swatara Creek winds through this landscape, defining the geographic heart of a region world-renowned for its confectionery industry. The planned urban layout of Hershey is visible in high detail, showcasing the sprawling grounds of The Hotel Hershey and the nearby Hershey Nursery. Outside the main town, the map reveals a dense network of suburban developments like Manor Acres and Skyline View that emerged around established settlements.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the older foundations of the area in places like Hummelstown and Union Deposit, or find leisure landmarks such as Indian Echo Caverns and Hershey Highmeadow Camp. The integration of transit and recreation is evident in the proximity of Brookside Farms Airport to several golf courses, illustrating how the mid-Atlantic corridor’s infrastructure supported both residential growth and major tourism at this time.
