This joint USGS and Army Corps of Engineers topographic map is a 1956 edition, printed in 1965, and the sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded. The quad takes in a stretch of south-central Pennsylvania across Dauphin and Lebanon counties, with Hershey, Hummelstown, Palmyra, and Annville falling within its boundaries, along with the community of Fort Indiantown Gap. Printed on thick stock and carrying a library stamp in the right collar with edge protectors applied, this sheet will appeal to anyone with a tie to Hershey and its surrounding chocolate-country towns as they stood in the mid-twentieth century.

HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Hummelstown 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1943 and 1956. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
