1891 Map of Doylestown

About this map

The Delaware River serves as a major geographical divider and transit corridor on this late nineteenth-century survey, flanked by islands such as Marshall Island and Bull's Isl. as it winds past riverside settlements like Point Pleasant and Lumberville. In Bucks County, the landscape is defined by its early townships—including Bedminster, Plumstead, and Solebury—where a network of agrarian villages and crossroads like Griers Corner, Smith's Corner, and Ottsville organized local life. The survey records the presence of the Penna Railroad cutting through the Doylestown area, highlighting the era's evolving transportation landscape. Notable elevations like Haycock Mountain and Buckingham Mountain stand out from the network of waterways such as Tohickon Creek and Neshaminy Creek, which provided the necessary water power for several named hamlets like Milltown and Barbertown.
