USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Tulpehocken Creek carves a winding path through this mid-century Berks County landscape, where the remnants of the Union (Abandoned) Canal follow its southern banks. The settlement of Bernville serves as a primary hub in the west, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by institutional sites such as the County Home and Hospital and the County Sanatorium. The distribution of quarries and small rural clusters like Centerport and Garfield reflect an economy rooted in both the earth and the land.
