1999 Map of East Greenville

About this map

Perkiomen Creek winds through this Pennsylvania landscape where the borders of Lehigh, Berks, and Montgomery counties converge. The terrain is defined by the South Mountain range and the Furnace Hills, shielding a series of small, established villages including Old Zionsville, Seisholtzville, and Bally. This late-twentieth-century survey illustrates a region that maintained its traditional layout of scattered farmsteads and country crossroads even as modern infrastructure like a major pipeline and telephone line cut across the hills. The presence of numerous historic houses of worship, such as Huffs Church, St Peters Ch, and the New Goshenhoppen Ch, speaks to the deep-rooted community ties and German heritage prevalent in these townships. To the south, the expansion of Green Lane County Park around the Green Lane Reservoir indicates a shift toward conservation and public recreation alongside the local industry represented by the Sewage Treatment Plant and various utility corridors.
