1997 Map of Germantown

About this map

The Wissahickon Creek valley forms a deep green corridor through the dense residential and industrial fabric of Northwest Philadelphia. This landscape is defined by the transition from the historic stone architecture of Germantown and Chestnut Hill to the suburban expansions of Montgomery Co to the north. Significant institutional grounds dominate the area, including the sprawling West Laurel Hill Cemetery and the Deshler-Morris House, which connects the neighborhood to early American history.
