1999 Map of Manatawny

About this map

Topton Mountain serves as the topographic centerpiece of this Berks County landscape, where the waters of the Sacony Creek and Bieber Creek navigate a complex network of ridges and small gaps. The area is characterized by a high density of small, established settlements like Fredericksville, Lobachsville, and Topton, reflecting a long history of rural community life in Pennsylvania's Piedmont region. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of local landmarks, including the notable Mountain Marys Grave and several historic houses of worship such as Hill Church and St Pauls Ch. The presence of State Game Lands No 315 and a Covered Br near the village of Manatawny underscores the mix of public conservation and traditional infrastructure that persists in these townships.
