1946 Map of Reading
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Schuylkill River carves a winding path through the heart of Berks County, anchoring a landscape that was rapidly industrializing during the mid-1940s. Centered on the city of Reading, this map captures the dense urban core and its surrounding boroughs, from the planned community of Wyomissing to the smaller milling settlements of Mohnton and Gibraltar. The presence of the Reading railroad network and the Fairgrounds north of the city center illustrates the area's role as a regional hub for commerce and entertainment.
