1963 Map of Middletown

About this map

Middletown and the neighboring borough of Royalton dominate this 1963 landscape, showing a dense riverfront community defined by its proximity to heavy industry and military logistics. The extensive Olmsted AF Base and adjacent Air Force Base occupy the river terrace, while the massive Susquehanna River is dotted with large landforms such as Shelley Island and Hill Island. The 1972 photorevisions, highlighted in purple, document significant expansion around the Masonic Homes near Newville and the development of Three Mile Island.
