1953 Map of Doylestown

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The borough of Doylestown and its surrounding townships serve as the focal point for this mid-century look at central Bucks County. This survey captures a landscape in transition, where established rural hamlets like Fountainville and Newville meet the burgeoning educational and recreational footprints of the post-war era. The sprawling campus of the Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture and the extensive waters of the Peace Valley Reservoir dominate the central terrain, while Septa rail lines connect the boroughs of Chalfont and New Britain. Local history is visible in the numerous small schoolhouses, such as Iron Hill Sch and Fretz Sch, and the presence of the Warrington Airfield, reflecting the area's diverse mid-century character.
