1955 Map of Swatara Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Blue Mountain and Second Mountain dominate this landscape, defining a series of narrow valleys where agriculture and small settlements took root in the mid-20th century. The cultural layer, revised in 1955 and updated with aerial data in 1969, reveals a network of country churches like Hauers Ch and Salem Ch that anchored the rural communities of Roedersville and De Turksville. Along the southern slopes of Blue Mountain, the Appalachian Trail follows the ridge, marking the boundary between Schuylkill and Berks counties.
