2019 Map of Lansdowne

About this map

Darby Creek and its many tributaries, including Whetstone Run and Lewis Run, define the rolling suburban landscape west of Philadelphia. This 2019 survey captures the densely settled corridor of Delaware and Montgomery counties, where long-established neighborhoods like Lansdowne, Drexel Hill, and Broomall are woven together by historic thoroughfares such as W Chester Pike and Baltimore Pike. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, documenting a deep religious and civic heritage through numerous Quaker sites, including the Springfield Friends Burial Ground and the Old Haverford Friends Meeting House Cem. Significant institutional footprints are visible across the quadrangle, from the campus of Swarthmore College in the south to the Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary on the edge of Penn Wynne. Dozens of smaller cemeteries and memorial gardens, such as Mount Lebanon Cem and Saint Denis Cem, are meticulously located among the residential blocks.
