1956 Map of Morgantown
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Joanna Furnace and the industrial activity at Grace Mine anchor the landscape where Berks and Lancaster counties meet. This survey captures a rural Pennsylvania corridor undergoing significant transportation shifts, dominated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike and its Interchange 22 near Morgantown. The terrain is characterized by the wooded heights of Welsh Mtn and Turkey Hill, with established community life centered around numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Wenger Ch and the Caernarvon Cem. Small settlements like Alleghenyville and Churchtown maintain their traditional footprints amidst the winding paths of Conestoga Creek and the Horseshoe Trail, while newer educational facilities like Twin Valley High Sch reflect mid-century local development.
