1969 Map of Lykens
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The ridge-and-valley terrain of northern Dauphin County is defined here by the industrial and social hubs of Lykens and Wiconisco. Situated between the steep slopes of Big Lick Mountain and Berry Mountain, these communities show the deep imprint of coal heritage, with strip mines and a Tailings Pond visible on the mountainside. The map captures a transition in local life, documenting traditional gathering places like the Fairground and Drive-in Theater near Gratz alongside mid-century infrastructure like the Flying Eagles Airfield. Large tracts of the southern landscape are preserved as Haldeman State Forest and State Game Lands No 210, where numerous named waterways like Lykens Run and Nine O'Clock Run drain into the Wiconisco Creek valley.
