About this map

Wissahickon Creek and the Schuylkill River anchor the western edge of this landscape, which captures the industrial and suburban expansion of Philadelphia into Montgomery and Bucks counties at the close of the nineteenth century. Surveyed by Frank Sutton, Robert Muldrow, and J.H. Jennings, the map documents an intricate lattice of transportation, specifically the dense network of the Phila. and Reading R. R. and Pennsylvania R. R. lines that connected burgeoning residential hubs like Chestnut Hill, Jenkintown, and Ambler.
