1956 Map of Kutztown

About this map

The Kutztown State Teachers College serves as a prominent anchor for the borough of Kutztown, which is surrounded by the agricultural valleys of Berks County. This mid-century landscape is defined by the winding course of Sacony Creek, where numerous local landmarks like Heffners Bridge and Dietrichs Mill Bridge cross the water. The area retains its Pennsylvania Dutch character with several rural congregations such as Bethel-Zions Ch and New Jerusalem Ch, alongside the distinct Old Order Ch south of town.
