About this map

Millersburg sits as the central hub of this 1969 survey, where the Penn Central railroad tracks parallel the Susquehanna River shoreline. The map documents a transition in rural Dauphin County, featuring a mixture of established residential clusters like Lenkerville and Cloverly Acres alongside traditional river landmarks. A notable Ferry crossing is marked just north of the Wiconisco Creek confluence, a long-standing local transit point that persists while other areas show modern expansion at Reservoir Heights.

The landscape is defined by the heavy ridges of Mahantango Mountain and Berry Mountain, which hem in the agricultural valleys of Upper Paxton and Halifax. Local genealogy and community history are well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including St Davids Ch, Jacobs Ch, and a Covered Bridge crossing the Wiconisco Creek. From the riverside settlements of Liverpool and Mt Patrick to the interior village of Fisherville, the map captures the region's enduring reliance on its water gaps and rail corridors.
