2023 Map of Lansdowne
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Densely developed suburban landscapes west of Philadelphia define this area, where early Quaker roots meet modern residential expansion. The map is a dense corridor of 19th and 20th-century history, anchoring the region with the Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary and the storied grounds of Swarthmore College. The preservation of open space is often found in the many religious and commemorative sites, from the ancient Old Haverford Friends Meeting House and Darby-Friends Burial Ground to modern memorial gardens. Residential clusters like Lansdowne, Yeadon, and Broomall are woven together by a complex network of Septa rail lines and historic creeks including Darby Creek and Cobbs Creek. This topography illustrates the transition from a network of discrete mill villages to the continuous suburban fabric of the present day.
