About this map

The borough of Kennett Square and the surrounding Brandywine Valley countryside are captured here in the early 21st century. This map showcases the suburban development and preserved horticultural spaces that define the region, most notably the expansive Longwood Gardens and the critical water resource of Kennett Square Reservoir. The landscape is a mix of dense residential neighborhoods and family-named developments such as Fox Meadow and Walnut Hill, punctuated by historical hamlets like Mendenhall and Yorklyn.

Hydrological features like the E Br Red Clay Cr and W Br Red Clay Cr provide a natural framework for the area's geography. Researchers will find numerous named residential clusters and hills, including Horseshoe Hill and Quaker Hill, alongside the Whittle Airport. This era reflects a landscape transitioning from its agricultural roots to a modern residential corridor while maintaining significant open spaces like Montgomery Woods and the shores of Hoopes Reservoir.
