1999 Map of Indiantown Gap

About this map

Indiantown Gap Military Reservation dominates the landscape of Lebanon County, stretching across the base of Blue Mountain and First Mountain. This late-twentieth-century survey documents a dense concentration of military and civil infrastructure, from the Rifle Range and Muir Field to the sprawling Indiantown Gap National Cemetery. The map captures the meeting of rugged ridges and managed parklands, including Swatara State Park and Memorial Lake State Park, where the Union Canal and Union Canal Aqueduct trace the historical importance of the Swatara Creek corridor. Small communities and landmarks like Harper Tavern, Bordnersville, and Lickdale sit at the intersection of these recreational and military zones. Cultural details such as Moonshine Ch and Sattazahn Ch provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in East Hanover and North Annville townships.
