1946 Map of Lansdowne
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Upper Darby and the surrounding townships in Delaware County show a landscape of rapid suburban expansion in this mid-century survey. Dense residential grids push westward from Philadelphia, surrounding established institutions like St Charles Borromeo Seminary and Swarthmore College. This era was defined by a transition from agricultural plots to planned neighborhoods like Drexel Hill and Chatham Village, though numerous green spaces remain in the form of private clubs such as Merion Golf Club and Aronimink Golf Club.
