USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Darby Creek and Cobbs Creek serve as the primary hydrological arteries for this densely settled landscape on the edge of Philadelphia County. By the mid-1950s, the western suburban expansion of Delaware County is well-established, showing a complex web of borough and township boundaries including Upper Darby and Springfield. The map reveals a highly developed infrastructure of schools and religious institutions, from St Andrews Sch in Drexel Hill to the sprawling grounds of Swarthmore College in the southwest.
