 This led Birkbeck to survey the region for the town of South Heberton.South Heberton has long since lost its identity and is now simply a cluster of houses along Schwabe Street, which is now part of Freeland.Between 1845 and 1846, Birkbeck built a highway through South Heberton, Eckley Miners' Village, and Buck Mountain; it was known as Buck Mountain Road.
