1943 Map of Milford Square

About this map

Milford Square and its surrounding townships sit at the convergence of Bucks, Lehigh, and Montgomery Counties during the mid-1940s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of small villages and crossings, with Trumbauersville and Spinnerstown serving as local hubs. The northern section of the map reveals the industrial influence of the Reading railroad and its Fogelsville Branch, which provided critical transit near Dillinger Sta. Notable for genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of smaller hamlets such as Mumbauersville, Geryville, and Dillingerville. Significant waterways like Unami Creek and Licking Creek wind through the region, illustrating how the drainage patterns of Chestnut Hill and Hilltop shaped early settlement placements and road corridors in this part of southeastern Pennsylvania.
