1915 Map of Reading
USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
Reading serves as the industrial and transportation nexus of Berks County in this early twentieth-century survey, where the Schuylkill River and the Schuylkill Canal intersect with a dense network of rail lines including the Pennsylvania RR. The urban grid of the city is clearly defined, pushing against the steep slopes of Mt Penn and Neversink Mountain. Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into a series of townships like Alsace and Oley, characterized by a high density of rural schoolhouses such as Shoemakersville School and Livingood School.
