1915 Map of Reading
USGS Topo · Published 1915About this map
The Schuylkill River and its accompanying Schuylkill Canal anchor this early 20th-century landscape, illustrating the industrial and transport complexity of Reading and its surrounding boroughs. The city is a dense grid of development at the foot of Neversink Mountain and Mount Penn, which are notably punctuated by recreational sites like Carsonia Park and early infrastructure such as the Antietam Reservoir. To the east and north, the map reveals a rural transition where industry and agriculture meet, marked by Oley Furnace and Stone Creek Mills.
