2019 Map of Steelton

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape, serving as a historic boundary between Dauphin and York counties. Near the industrial riverfront, the remnants of the Pennsylvania Canal sit alongside the established boroughs of Steelton and Highspire. This 2019 survey documents a region where modern aviation hubs like the Harrisburg International Airport and Capital City Airport coexist with deep-rooted community markers. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, ranging from the Stoner Family Farm Cem and Shopes Mennonite Cem to the Goldsboro Cemeteries. The transition from the urban density of Harrisburg and New Cumberland to the residential character of Valley Green and Swatara Crest reflects the ongoing development of the state capital's periphery, while the series of river islands, including Sheesly Island and Zimmerman Island, maintain a natural buffer between the shorelines.
