1955 Map of Swatara Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Blue Mountain and Second Mountain dominate this mid-century landscape where the Appalachian Trail skirts the southern border between Schuylkill and Berks counties. The area is defined by the parallel ridges of Sharp Mtn and Stone Ridge, creating narrow valleys that dictate the placement of small rural communities like Reedersville and De Turksville. The hydrology of the region is centered on the winding Swatara Creek and the man-made Sweet Arrow Lake, which hosts a YWCA Camp along its northern shore.
