1956 Map of Hamburg
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The ridge of Blue Mountain dominates the northern landscape of this Berks County survey, where the Appalachian Trail follows the high ground between Hawk Mtn and The Pinnacle. In the valley below, the Schuylkill River and Conrail lines serve the industrial corridor through Hamburg and Shoemakersville. This map documents a transitional period for the region as new interstate interchanges were integrated into an older network of rural landmarks, including the prominent Hamburg Tuberculosis Sanatorium and the historic Five Locks on the canal.
