About this map

Palmyra serves as the central hub of this 2013 survey, where a dense residential and commercial grid transitions into the farm-dotted landscape of Lebanon and Dauphin counties. The map illustrates a developed corridor following the local road network, connecting established communities like Palmdale and Campbelltown. Aviation presence is notable with both Reigle Field Airport and Rover Airport situated south of the main settlements, reflecting the mixed-use nature of this region.

The landscape is defined by its water systems, including the winding path of Swatara Cr and its tributaries like Quittapahilla Cr and Killinger Cr. These waterways historically influenced the location of places like Union Water Works and Steelstown. Agricultural land use remains evident through named sites such as Marbet Farms and Brandt View Farms, which sit alongside smaller hamlets like Syner and Mount Pleasant, showing the persistence of rural character amidst suburban growth.
