1915 Map of Reading
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The dense industrial and rail corridor of the Schuylkill River valley dominates this Pennsylvania landscape, anchored by the city of Reading. At this time, the city is a hub of heavy infrastructure, with the Pennsylvania Railroad and various electric lines like the Allentown and Reading Electric Railway spidering out toward satellite communities like Shillington and Temple. The map preserves the transition from the urban grid to the surrounding rural townships, where legacy land-use patterns are evident in the County Farm and landmarks such as the Friends Meetinghouse and Van Reeds Mill.
