1955 Map of Berwick

About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts a wide path through this valley, serving as the industrial and transit corridor for the neighboring communities of Berwick and Nescopeck. During this mid-century period, the landscape reveals a dense network of river-town infrastructure, from the Conrail and Delaware And Hudson rail lines to the Berwick Airfield and local industry marked by a prominent Quarry. North of the river, the terrain rises toward Lee Mountain, where smaller rural settlements like Foundryville and Berwick Heights are situated near the Glen Brook Reservoir.
