1955 Map of Malvern

About this map

Pickering Creek and the North Valley Hills define the varied topography of this Chester County landscape, where mid-century suburban expansion meets deeply rooted colonial-era settlements. The map highlights significant institutional landmarks, most notably the U.S. Military Reservation Valley Forge Army Hospital and Immaculata College. Small communities like Chester Springs, Charlestown, and Devault are captured during a period of transition, as the local road network evolved around the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
