About this map

Palmyra and Hershey anchor this 2016 survey, which highlights the dense residential and commercial expansion along the corridor between Dauphin and Lebanon Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Swatara Creek to the northwest and the Quittapahilla and Killinger creeks that drain the central valley. Small-scale aviation hubs like Reigle Field and Rover Airport sit amidst the suburban growth of Campbelltown and Palmdale.

Genealogists will find local landmarks including Lebanon Valley Coll Cem and Evergreen Cem near the eastern edge in Annville. The map captures the continued relevance of old road networks like Blacks Bridge Rd and Palmyra Bellegrove Rd as they link historic settlements such as Bellegrove, Syner, and Steelstown. This detailed look at the region shows the transition from the industrial and agricultural past to its modern role as a center for tourism and residence.
