1956 Map of Hamburg
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Schuylkill River and the parallel path of the Schuylkill Canal anchor the industrial and transit corridor of this Berks County landscape. The town of Hamburg sits at a critical junction, where the Conrail lines and major roads meet the water. A notable institutional presence on the hill overlooking the valley is the Hamburg Tuberculosis Sanatorium, an important regional landmark during the mid-20th century. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into Blue Mountain, home to State Game Lands No 106 and the Appalachian Trail.
