USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Upper Darby and the surrounding townships of Delaware Co showcase a densely woven suburban landscape during the early 1940s. The area is defined by its educational and religious institutions, including the expansive St Charles Borromeo Seminary, Eastern Baptist Seminary, and Swarthmore College. This period captures the region as a major transit corridor, with the Pennsylvania Railroad and various local stations like Lansdowne Sta and Clifton Sta anchoring the growth of residential clusters in Drexel Hill, Llanerch, and Springfield.
