1906 Map of New Cumberland

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, serving as a corridor for the Pennsylvania RR and the Northern Central RR at the turn of the century. The map documents a dense network of early 20th-century transportation and commerce, including Spades Wharf and the Harrisburg and Chambersburg Pike. In the surrounding countryside, the winding course of Yellow Breeches Creek defines the boundaries of Lower Allen and Fairview, while smaller communities like Lisburn and Eberlys Mill dot the interior.
