2019 Map of Sinking Spring

About this map

Sinking Spring and its surrounding residential developments anchor this Berks County landscape where suburban growth meets the rising terrain of Laurel Ridge. The map traces the varied topography from the northern reaches near Blue Marsh Lake down to the southern boundary where Adamstown Ridge marks the transition into Lancaster County. This area is characterized by a high concentration of institutional and community landmarks, including the Villa Maria Infirmary, the Phoebe Berks Village community, and several religious sites such as Saint Alban's Episcopal Church Columbarium. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, from the historic Hains Cem and Jesuit Cem to the Cocalico Mennonite Cem and Open Door Mennonite Cem. Local aviation is represented by Boyer Airport, while the legacy of early transportation is preserved through the Union Canal Trail following the path of Tulpehocken Creek.
