South Mountain dominates the central landscape of this turn-of-the-century survey, acting as a topographic anchor between the agricultural valleys of Berks, Lebanon, and Lancaster counties. This region is characterized by a dense network of early Pennsylvania settlements and institutions, most notably the South Mountain Insane Asylum and the Orphans Home near Ryeland. The infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by the Philadelphia and Reading R. R. and the Reading and Southwestern Street Ry., which connect industrial hubs like Robesonia and Wernersville to the surrounding countryside.
