1953 Map of Buckingham

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Buckingham Mountain and Little Buckingham Mtn anchor the center of this landscape, where the rural crossroads of Bucks County meet the early signs of suburban transition. The mid-century character of the area is evident in the survival of agrarian landmarks like the Buckingham Valley Mill alongside the expanding Central Bucks County Municipal Airport. The Reading railroad corridor cuts a diagonal path through the quadrangle, serving small communities like Wycombe and Rushland. Genealogists and local historians will find numerous rural institutions recorded here, from the Solebury Ch and Mt Gilead Ch to several district school buildings including Friendship Sch and Buckingham Sch. The complex network of creeks, such as Neshaminy Creek and Paunnacussing Creek, continues to dictate the local topography, even as modern infrastructure like the pipeline begins to cross the older township boundaries of Plumstead and Solebury.
