1891 Map of Doylestown

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Doylestown serves as the focal point of this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance, situated at the confluence of several early road networks and the North Penna Railroad. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Delaware River, which separates Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Prominent elevations like Haycock Mountain in the north and Buckingham Mountain to the southeast rise above the creek-carved plains of Bucks County. The map documents a dense network of nineteenth-century agricultural settlements, many associated with local families or landmarks, such as Smith's Corner, Peters Corner, and Griers Corner. Along the river, infrastructure like Kingwood Sta. and the surrounding islands, including Mars Isl. and Bull's Isl., highlight the importance of the river corridor for both transportation and industry during this era of growth.
