1953 Map of Doylestown

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Doylestown serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of several major transit corridors. The Reading railroad bisects the landscape, connecting established boroughs like Chalfont and New Britain to the county seat. A notable concentration of institutional and educational landmarks appears south of the main town, including the National Agricultural College (Farm Sch P.O.), the County Home, and the Tabor Home. The landscape transitions from the developed grids of the townships to the winding path of Neshaminy Creek and its tributaries, such as Deep Run and Pine Run. Scattered throughout the rural stretches of Hilltown and Plumstead are numerous local schoolhouses like Hunsberger Sch and Fretz Sch, alongside legacy settlements such as Mount Pleasant (Hilltown P.O.) and Fountainville.
