1956 Map of Ephrata

About this map

Ephrata Mountain rises above a landscape defined by the convergence of the Reading railroad and the winding Cocalico Creek. This mid-century Pennsylvania Dutch country reflects a dense network of township life, where community identity is anchored by small crossroad settlements and an extraordinary number of local institutions. Schools such as the Cocalico Union Sch and Fetter Sch are scattered across the boroughs and townships, alongside numerous houses of worship like Mohlers Ch and Indiantown Ch.
