2013 Map of Hamburg

About this map

Hamburg and its surrounding Berks County landscapes are defined by the winding course of the Schuylkill River and the rural transition into the Blue Mountain foothills. This region preserves significant engineering history through its crossings, including the Dreibelbis Station Covered Bridge and Zettlemoyers Bridge spanning Maiden Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of traditional crossroads such as Windsor Castle and Lenhartsville, alongside industrial-era locations like Five Locks and Shoemakersville. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward landmarks like Pulpit Rock and the boulder field at Blue Rocks, while the Hamburg Reservoir and Blue Mountain Lake provide significant water resources for the area. The map also traces local recreation and utility sites, from the Berne Speedway and Skyline Airstrip to several golf courses and the expansive Ontelaunee Lake at the southern edge.
