About this map

The borough of Bernville and the surrounding Berks County countryside are defined by a network of creek valleys and significant rural cemeteries in this 2019 survey. The landscape transitions from the agricultural uplands of Scull Hill to the sprawling waters of Blue Marsh Lake in the southeast. This area is notable for its dense concentration of historic burial grounds and parish sites, including the Friedens Evangelical Lutheran Church Cem and Saint Thomas Cem, which reflect the region's deep-rooted German denominational heritage.

Waterways like Northkill Cr and Irish Cr cut through the terrain, with historical crossings such as Conrads Bridge and Lamms Bridge linking the scattered settlements of Garfield, Mount Pleasant, and Centerport. The map details a transition from the compact grid of Bernville to the newer residential clusters at Fairview Heights and Bloomsburg, while preserving the locations of older landmarks like the Bloomsburg Meeting House Cem and the Bern Church Yard Cem.
