1899 Map of Germantown

USGS Topo · Published 1902

About this map

Philadelphia and its northern suburbs are captured during a period of rapid rail expansion and suburbanization at the turn of the century. The map reveals an intricate web of transportation, where the Phila. and Reading RR and the North Pennsylvania RR facilitate movement between the urban core and growing satellite towns like Ambler and Hatboro. To the south, the Schuylkill River and the U.S. Arsenal anchor the industrial landscape, while the Penn-Delaware-River Boundary Line defines the southeastern edge of the survey.
