About this map

Indiantown Gap Military Reservation dominates the center of this wartime landscape, illustrating the rapid expansion of military infrastructure along the flanks of Blue Mountain and Second Mountain. To the south, the planned character of the region is evident in the development around Hummelstown, where the Hershey Zoo and Hershey Hosp appear alongside numerous rural schools like the Hershey Ind Sch. The Reading railroad network serves as a vital artery, connecting remote points such as Rausch Gap Sta and Cold Spring Sta within the narrow valleys between Sharp Mountain and Stony Mountain.
