1955 Map of Womelsdorf
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
South Mountain and the Furnace Hills dominate the central and southern reaches of this mid-century landscape, creating a dramatic topographical divide between the historic Pennsylvania Dutch settlements. Along the northern corridor, the Reading railroad connects the bustling boroughs of Womelsdorf and Robesonia, where the Benjamin Franklin Highway mirrors the ancient path of the Tulpehocken Creek. The map documents a deeply established rural infrastructure, noting landmarks such as the Bethany Orphan Home and the Texter Mission tucked into the mountain's northern slope.
