2019 Map of Elverson

About this map

Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site anchors the eastern hills of this landscape, preserving a critical piece of the region's early industrial heritage. The terrain is defined by the high ridges of Welsh Mtn, Long Mtn, and Williams Hill, which overlook a network of small settlements including Elverson, Geigertown, and Warwick. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Saint Pauls United Methodist Church Cem and Rock Church Road Cem, are scattered across the township, offering significant reference points for genealogists. The area is heavily marked by its water resources, with Hopewell Lake, Scotts Run Lake, and the Birdsboro Reservoir providing drainage for the S Br French Cr and Hay Cr. This survey illustrates the transition from rural crossroads to residential clusters, while maintaining large tracts of woodland and preserved parkland.
