About this map

Manatawny Creek and Ironstone Creek carve through the diverse landscape of eastern Pennsylvania in this late-1990s survey. The map details a complex settlement pattern where early industrial hamlets like Pine Forge and Woodchoppertown sit alongside established hubs like Boyertown and Pottstown. The Colebrookdale Branch railroad winds through the valleys, following the contours of a terrain marked by numerous family-named peaks such as Shenkel Hill, Mengle Hill, and Stone Cave Hill.

Infrastructure for the growing population is evident through features like the Pottstown Municipal Airport, various Comm Towers, and the Boyertown Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of vital community landmarks, including Shanesville Ch, Union Cem, and St Johns Cem, alongside several educational institutions ranging from the High Sch in Boyertown to the smaller Barth Sch and Middle Sch.
