$47

This is an Army Corps of Engineers topographic map of the Wernersville quadrangle, a 1943 edition printed in 1963 on thick stock and in very good condition, having been lightly handled and never folded. Drawn at 1:62,500 across a 13-by-17-mile area of eastern Pennsylvania, the quad takes in parts of Berks, Lancaster, and Lebanon counties, with Sinking Spring, West Wyomissing, Mohnton, and Womelsdorf falling within its boundaries, along with part of Blue Marsh Lake. The sheet carries a library stamp in the center right collar and has edge protectors applied, and its base compiled from 1942 and 1943 aerial and field survey captures this stretch of the Berks County countryside west of Reading as it looked in the war years.

HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED

Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Wernersville 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1942 and 1943. A gray tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USACE and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
