1943 Map of Wernersville

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The rolling agricultural lands and institutional hubs of central Pennsylvania are meticulously documented in this mid-century Army and USGS survey. The landscape is punctuated by large-scale social and religious complexes, such as the sprawling grounds of the Wernersville State Hospital and the nearby Bethany Orphans Home. Between the southern ridge of Eagle Peak and the northern reaches of the Swatara Creek, the region is organized into historical townships like Heidelberg and Jefferson, where small boroughs and crossroads connect a network of rural schools and churches.
