About this map

Swamp Creek and its many tributaries, including Minister Creek and Schlegel Run, define the rolling topography of Montgomery County in this detailed survey. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of early crossroads settlements like Sassamansville, New Hanover, and Layfield, many of which grew around long-standing religious congregations. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous burial sites and churchyards, such as Falkner Swamp Reformed Church Cem and the Shalkop Burial Ground.

In the northeastern corner, the Green Lane Reservoir alters the drainage patterns of the Perkiomen Creek watershed, while to the south, the suburban expansion from Pottstown begins to reach into Sanatoga and Pottsgrove. Small-scale aviation is represented by Crosswinds Airfield near Congo, illustrating the mix of traditional rural land use and modern local infrastructure that shapes this part of Pennsylvania.
