1955 Map of Holtwood

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this mid-century landscape, split between the Holtwood Reservoir and the Conowingo Reservoir. The massive industrial presence of the Holtwood Dam and its associated Power Plant marks the center of the sheet, where the river narrows between numerous named islands like Piney Island and Upper Bear Island. An Abandoned Canal traces the western bank, a relic of earlier river navigation superseded by the Penn Central rail lines that connect rural stops like Bryansville Sta and Castle Fin Sta.
