1969 Map of Palmyra

About this map

Palmyra and Annville anchor this 1969 Lebanon County survey, showing the corridor's development as it appeared before late-century suburban expansion. The historic Union Canal traces a path along the Swatara Creek to the north, a remnant of earlier transportation networks that once defined the region. The map captures the institutional core of the area, including Lebanon Valley College and several local schools like Forge Street Sch and Annville-Cleona High Sch. In addition to the larger towns, smaller rural settlements such as Bellegrove, Steelstown, and Campbelltown are documented alongside numerous quarries that speak to the local geology and industry. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local landmarks like the Gravel Hill Cemetery, Mount Annville Cem, and Dohners Ch Cem, which help locate long-standing community centers.
