About this map

East Greenville and Bally anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the borders of Lehigh, Berks, and Montgomery Counties meet. This territory is exceptionally dense with ecclesiastical history, evidenced by a high concentration of denominational cemeteries and churches such as the Washington Schwenkfelder Cem and Upper Milford Mennonite Church Cem. These sites, alongside many others like the Saint Peters Union Church Cem, trace the deep ancestral roots of German sectarian groups who settled the valley.

Elevations rise toward the north at Furnace Hill and South Mountain, while the Perkiomen Cr and its tributaries, including Hosensack Cr and Valley Run, drain the agricultural lowlands. Small crossroads settlements like Sigmund, Seisholtzville, and Powder Valley suggest the region's earlier industrial past. Modern utility is seen in the Butter Valley Golf Port Airport, while the Green Lane Reservoir sits at the southeastern edge, illustrating the area's role in regional water management.
