1967 Map of Lansdowne
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Haverford and Upper Darby townships anchor this late-1960s suburban landscape, illustrating the dense residential expansion west of the Philadelphia line. The terrain is defined by the winding corridors of Crum Creek, Darby Creek, and Cobbs Creek, which serve as natural boundaries between established boroughs like Lansdowne, Clifton Heights, and Yeadon. The influence of institutional land use is prominent, with extensive grounds dedicated to Haverford State Hospital, Swarthmore College, and a concentration of large-scale burial grounds such as SS Peter and Paul Cemetery and Arlington Cemetery.
