2013 Map of Birdsboro

About this map

The Schuylkill River and its accompanying Schuylkill Canal form the southern industrial and transport spine of this Berks County landscape. As of 2013, the region shows a dense suburban evolution from its agrarian roots, with numerous residential developments such as Grist Mill Farms, Jackson Meadows, and Glen Oley Farms filling the spaces between older centers like Saint Lawrence. Higher ground is marked by prominent elevations like Schwarzwald Hill and Monocacy Hill, while historic local landmarks like Spies Church and the Jean Bertolet Memorial Monument reflect long-standing community foundations. The landscape is also dotted with recreational and niche facilities, including Bert's Airport and the Arrowhead Golf Course, illustrating the modern transition of this river-valley corridor north of the river's bend.
