1957 Map of Boyertown

About this map

Boyertown and the industrial corridors of the Schuylkill River define this mid-century landscape where agricultural valleys meet the rise of the Reading railroad network. The topography is dominated by a series of prominent ridges, including Fancy Hill, Long Hill, and the distinctive Devils Hump, which separate the dense borough settlements from the rural townships. Early industrial footprints are visible at Mauberger Mill and along Manatawny Creek, while the presence of the Boyertown Reservoir and several small community camps like Camp Manatawny illustrate the area's transition toward modern infrastructure.
