1894 Map of Germantown

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Germantown and the industrial northern reaches of Philadelphia define this late 19th-century landscape, where a dense grid of streets meets the winding courses of Wissahickon Creek and Tacony Creek. The map documents a critical period of infrastructure growth, showing the complex rail networks of the Philadelphia and Reading R. R. and the Pennsylvania R. R. as they spurred suburban development in places like Ambler and Jenkintown.
