About this map

Yellow Breeches Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, serving as the boundary between Cumberland and York Counties. The early 1960s suburban expansion of the Harrisburg area is evident, with developing neighborhoods like Rossmoyne Manor and Winding Heights appearing alongside established boroughs such as Camp Hill and Lemoyne. The area's strategic location is underscored by the convergence of the Penn Central and Reading railroads, as well as the major thoroughfares of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Simpson Ferry Road.

Institutional and industrial landmarks dominate several sections, most notably the sprawling US Naval Reservation and the campus of Messiah College at Grantham. Local history is preserved in numerous rural sites like Lantz Cem, Mohlers Ch, and the small settlement of Siddonsburg. The transition from the dense urban grid of New Cumberland to the southern township lands of Monaghan illustrates the mid-century shift from river-valley industry to residential sprawl.
