1953 Map of Buckingham

About this map

Buckingham Valley Mill and the rising ridge of Buckingham Mountain anchor this mid-century survey of the Pennsylvania countryside. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Neshaminy Creek and its many tributaries, such as Lahaska Creek and Watson Creek, which shaped the early settlement patterns of townships like Doylestown and Wrightstown. The agricultural and industrial character of the era is evident in the numerous small crossroads communities, from Gardenville in the north to Jamison in the south, many of which are centered around local landmarks like the Fairgrounds or Friendship School.
