1902 Map of Wernersville

About this map

South Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this turn-of-the-century survey, its ridges rising sharply above the fertile valleys of Berks and Lebanon counties. The Philadelphia and Reading R. R. serves as a primary transit corridor, connecting a string of established 19th-century settlements including Womelsdorf, Robesonia, and Wernersville. This era is characterized by specialized institutional land use, noted by the presence of the Insane Asylum and an Orphans Home, alongside recreation sites like Walters Park and Grand View that took advantage of the higher elevations.
