1906 Map of Burlington

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the industrial and transit spine of this landscape, connecting the growing hubs of Pennsylvania and New Jersey before the mid-century expansion. This survey captures a dense network of transport infrastructure, most notably the Delaware Division Pennsylvania Canal and several major rail lines including the Phila and Reading RR and the Trenton Cut-Off. These corridors shaped the development of settlements like Hulmeville, Langhorne, and Fallsington, which stand alongside agricultural lands defined by family names and small post offices.
