2016 Map of Elverson

About this map

Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site serves as a focal point for this landscape along the border of Berks and Chester Counties. This survey reveals a complex network of early industrial sites and rural settlements, including Scarlets Mill and the crossroads at Geigertown and Elverson. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Long Mtn and Welsh Mtn, while the Birdsboro Reservoir and Hopewell Lake provide significant water features. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds, including Saint Pauls United Methodist Church Cem and Morningside Cem. The transition from the high ground of Mtn Pleasure down to the Pine Swamp and the headwaters of French Cr illustrates the varied topography of this corner of the Pennsylvania Piedmont.
