About this map

The Schuylkill River and its industrial and residential corridors dominate this landscape, flowing through a region of established settlements like Leesport and Shoemakersville. The waterway is punctuated by historic infrastructure including Rieser Mill Dam and Felix Dam, reflecting a history of river management alongside the Schuylkill Valley RR. Significant water features such as Ontelaunee Lake and the Bernhart Reservoir indicate the region's role in local water supply and recreation, while the sprawling residential developments of Muhlenberg Park and Laureldale show the suburban expansion around the city of Reading. Numerous historical sites are preserved across the area, from the Blandon Post Office to numerous burial grounds like Gethsemane Cemetery and Good Shepherd Cemetery. This map captures the intersection of traditional river-based industries and mid-century modern infrastructure, including the Reading Municipal Airport and Grube Airport.
