About this map

The Schuylkill River and its tributary, the Little Schuylkill River, converge near the dramatic Schuylkill Gap, shaping the development of towns like Port Clinton and Auburn. This 2019 survey documents the complex geography where the river corridor meets the ridge of Blue Mountain, a landscape traversed by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the southern half of the quadrangle, which includes numerous historical burial sites such as the Seifert Family Burial Ground, Saint Michaels Cem, and the Salem - Berne Methodist Church Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy transitioning from its industrial roots, visible in the proximity of State Game Lands No 106 to established settlements like Shartlesville and Landingville. Smaller hamlets like Jalappa and Molino remain distinct points of interest along the creek valleys of Mill Cr and Pine Cr.
