The industrial and agricultural heart of Chester County emerges in this early twentieth-century survey, defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike. In the north, Coatesville and Parkesburg serve as major hubs along the rail lines, while Modena and Mortonville sit near the banks of Brandywine Creek. Further south, the map documents the historic campus of Lincoln University and the surrounding township structures that supported this academic community.
