Where the river is born — the Schuylkill confluence at Schuylkill Haven, from above.
A remastered golden-hour aerial of the spot where the East and West Branches meet to become the main-stem Schuylkill — the “hidden river” of the old Dutch maps — the same water that once carried mule-drawn coal barges down the Schuylkill Navigation Canal, the artery of Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal era.
The Survey Plate heritage edition sets the aerial on a printed plate with an engraved title, caption, and series mark, in the manner of an old survey sheet:
WHERE THE RIVER IS BORN · Confluence of the East & West Branches · Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania · 40.632639°N · 76.177836°W · ELEV. 490 FT.
Printed to order on museum-grade archival matte paper with pigment inks and a clean cream border. For the people who live here — and for everyone tracing their way back home.
