1959 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Greenwood and its southern neighbors show a pattern of mid-century suburban expansion along the Pennsylvania railroad corridor during the late 1950s. The emergence of New Whiteland and West Whiteland adjacent to the established center of Whiteland illustrates the era's residential development, while the surrounding landscape remains deeply tied to its agricultural roots. This rural character is defined by a dense network of drainage infrastructure, including Tracy Ditch, Graham Ditch, and Ransdell Run, essential for managing the fertile plains of Pleasant and Clark townships.
