USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Blue Mountain dominates the northern reaches of this Berks County landscape, where the Appalachian Trail follows the ridgeline past distinctive geological features like Pulpit Rock and The Pinnacle. In the valley below, the Schuylkill River and the Conrail line define the industrial and transit corridor through Hamburg and West Hamburg. The presence of the Hamburg Tuberculosis Sanatorium and the Berne Speedway illustrates the varied social and recreational infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
