1943 Map of Shippensburg

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Shippensburg serves as the focal point of this 1943 survey, revealing the established footprint of the State Normal Sch and the intersection of the Reading and Western Maryland railroads. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the productive agricultural valleys of Southampton and Letterkenny and the daunting heights of Blue Mountain. A modern engineering marvel of the era is prominently visible: the Pennsylvania Turnpike, featuring the Blue Mountain Tunnel and the Kittatinny Tunnel cutting through the ridges.
