About this map

Haycock Mtn towers over the northern landscape of Bucks County, marking a rugged anchor for the State Game Lands No 157 and the developing Nockamixon State Park. This mid-century survey reveals a traditional agrarian pattern defined by the winding course of Tohickon Creek and its many tributaries, including Mink Run and Deep Run. The settlement pattern is anchored by crossroads hamlets like Elephant, Harrow, and Pipersville, where local life centered on rural institutions.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of historic meeting places and schools, such as the Irish Meeting House and Kellers Church. The map also captures the expansion of Dublin and Plumsteadville along the primary thoroughfares of Durham Road and Stump Road, reflecting the area's steady transition from a purely agricultural corridor to a more interconnected residential landscape.
