2013 Map of Temple

About this map

The Schuylkill River and Maiden Creek converge at the center of this Berks County landscape, framing a region defined by its water resources and transportation corridors. To the northeast, the massive Ontelaunee Lake dominates the topography, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the suburban industrial and residential clusters of Muhlenberg and Laureldale. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern footprint of a valley with deep agricultural and industrial roots, where the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern RR follows the river's path through established communities like Leesport and Mohrsville. Local recreation and infrastructure are well-documented, from the Schellhammer Speedway near Dauberville to the expansive Reading Regional Airport/Carl A Spaatz Field in the southwest, showing how twentieth-century development integrated with the winding waterway.
