1963 Map of Middletown

About this map

Three Mile Island dominates the bend of the Susquehanna River in this detailed look at the river corridor south of Harrisburg during the 1960s and through its 1990 updates. The industrial and residential center of Middletown and adjacent Royalton sit at the confluence of the river and Swatara Creek, showcasing a dense network of local schools including Roosevelt Oak Hill Sch, Fink Sch, and Feaser Sch. This area highlights the transition from traditional river-and-rail infrastructure, marked by the Reading Railroad, to the modern automotive era defined by the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
