1923 Map of Shippensburg

About this map

Shippensburg sits at the foot of the massive ridge system of the Kittatinny Mountain and Blue Mountain, serving as a critical junction in south-central Pennsylvania. The town is home to the State Normal School and a dense network of local industry and transport, including the Western Maryland railroad line. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the broad agricultural valley and the series of parallel ridges to the northwest, such as Tuscarora Mountain and Amberson Ridge.
