About this map

Blue Marsh Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Berks County region, where the Tulpehocken Creek drainage was transformed by the construction of the Blue Marsh Dam. This 2010 survey records the recreational and infrastructure changes surrounding the reservoir, including the Sheidy Boat Launch, Dry Brooks Boat Launch, and the Blue Marsh Bernville Levee protecting the borough of Bernville.

Away from the water, the map preserves the traditional rural layout of the area, noting several family-linked landmarks and early burial grounds such as Stump Cemetery and Bern Cemetery. The high ground of Scull Hill overlooks a network of local roads with evocative names like Molasses Hill Rd and Lonesome Valley Rd, while the eastern portion includes the settlement of Bloomsburg and the historic crossing at Werts Bridge.
