About this map

Indiantown Gap Military Reservation dominates the center of this landscape, where the ridges of Blue Mountain and Second Mountain meet the Lebanon Valley. The map documents a complex infrastructure of training ranges and support facilities, including Marquette Lake and Indiantown Gap Station. To the south, the rural character of East Hanover is evident in a network of country roads and community anchors like Harper Tavern, Lickdale, and Ono.

Water and transport history intersect along Swatara Creek, where remnants of the Union Canal and its Aqueduct parallel the stream. The transition from industrial-era water transport to modern recreation and conservation is visible in the presence of State Game Lands No 211 and the Appalachian Trail crossing the northern ridges. Local heritage is further marked by numerous small congregations such as Moonshine Ch and Emmanuel Ch.
