About this map

Womelsdorf and the neighboring boroughs of Robesonia and Richland anchor this 2019 survey of the Berks and Lancaster County line. The map highlights a significant concentration of early Pennsylvania German heritage, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as the Conrad Weiser Gravesite and the Womelsdorf Union Cem. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors of William Penn Blvd and W Penn Ave toward the high ridges of South Mountain and Eagle Peak.

To the south, the Middle Creek Reservoir and the surrounding game preserve provide a stark contrast to the small, long-established hamlets like Cocalico, Kleinfeltersville, and Millbach Springs. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks including the Gensemer Family Cem, Flickingers Church Cem, and the Swamp Church Cem Old. Traces of early industrial infrastructure remain visible through the labeling of the Union Canal near Tulpehocken Creek.
