1955 Map of Berwick
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The Susquehanna River carves a wide path through this valley, serving as the historical and industrial spine for Berwick and Nescopeck. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Lee Mountain to the north and Nescopeck Mountain to the south, creating a corridor where rail lines and river trade flourished. Local life is centered around several smaller clusters like Foundryville and Beach Haven, while the rural uplands are dotted with namesake landmarks such as Stone Ch and Shaffer Ch. Purple photorevisions indicate mid-century growth, including a Drive-in Theater and expanded residential footprints. Significant tracts of State Game Lands No 55 and State Game Lands No 260 anchor the higher elevations, preserving the wooded character of the Columbia and Luzerne county line.
