USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Penn Central rail lines and the Lincoln Highway anchor this landscape, cutting through the distinctive ridge-and-valley topography of the North Valley Hills and South Valley Hills. The map documents a cluster of industrial and residential growth in the mid-20th century, particularly around the boroughs of Parkesburg, Atglen, and Christiana. These settlements are linked by a network of historic transit corridors, including the Strasburg Road and Newport Pike.
