1953 Map of Wernersville
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The rolling landscape of western Berks County at the mid-century reveals a dense network of valley settlements and institutional landmarks. Tulpehocken Creek and Cacoosing Creek define the drainage of this region, supporting early industrial sites like Kricks Mill and providing the corridor for the Reading railroad. Major social landmarks dominate the foothills of South Mountain, including the extensive grounds of the Wernersville State Hospital, the Jesuit College, and the Bethany Orphans Home. These facilities, alongside smaller religious sites like the South Mt Mission and the Blue Meeting House, illustrate a landscape shaped by communal and religious service.
