1956 Map of Hamburg
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Blue Mountain dominates the northern reaches of this Berks County landscape, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds past prominent rock formations like The Pinnacle and Pulpit Rock. Below the ridge, the industrial and transport history of the region is evident along the Schuylkill River, which parallels the Reading Railroad and the remnants of the Schuylkill Canal. A notable concentration of infrastructure exists near Hamburg, including the large Hamburg Tuberculosis Sanatorium and the Five Locks on the canal, reflecting the era's specialized public health and water-management facilities.
