1950 Map of Frankford

Transport networks are a major focus, with the Reading RR and Roosevelt Boulevard facilitating movement between the city and surrounding Montgomery County. Large tracts of land are dedicated to the dead, including the expansive Har Nebo Cem and Lawnview Cemetery, while the green corridor of Pennypack Park provides a break in the urban grid as it follows the winding Pennypack Creek. The map reflects an era of established community institutions, from the Ogontz Jr College to various specialized hospitals and vocational schools.
