1953 Map of Buckingham

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Buckingham Mountain and Little Buckingham Mtn dominate the central landscape of this Bucks County survey, which documents a transition from traditional farming communities to a suburbanizing countryside. The Reading railroad corridor serves as a spine through the valley, passing landmarks like Bycot Sta and connecting established villages such as Lahaska and Buckingham. The map highlights numerous small local institutions that anchored these rural townships, including the Gardenville Sch, Mt Gilead Ch, and Plumstead Cem. In the west, the Central Bucks County Municipal Airport and emerging developments around Pebble Hill reflect the mid-century growth of the Doylestown periphery, while the winding course of Neshaminy Creek and Pidcock Creek maintain the area's original hydrologic character.
