About this map

Tulpehocken Cr winds through the heart of this Berks County landscape, defining the topography south of the borough of Bernville. By the early 21st century, this area maintained a distinct balance between its agricultural roots and modern recreational infrastructure. The presence of Blue Marsh Lake at the southern edge, supported by the Dry Brooks Boat Launch and Sheidy Boat Launch, reflects the transformation of local waterways into significant public resources.

Smaller hamlets like Centerport and Mount Pleasant are connected by a network of rural roads such as Irish Creek Rd and Old State Rd. Elevation is most pronounced at Scull Hill, which overlooks the convergence of Irish Cr and other tributaries. Genealogists and local historians can trace the continuity of land use through family-named landmarks like Conrads Bridge and Lamms Bridge, which span the creek near Pleasant Valley.
