2023 Map of Norristown

About this map

The Schuylkill River carves a deep industrial and residential corridor through this part of Montgomery County, anchoring the historic centers of Norristown, Bridgeport, and Conshohocken. This survey illustrates a dense landscape of early Pennsylvania settlement, where venerable religious sites like the Old Swedes Christ Church Cem and Saint John Episcopal Church Cem stand alongside the region's prominent academic institutions, including Bryn Mawr College, Villanova University, and Haverford College. The topography is defined by significant water management features like the Swedeland Impounding Basin and numerous small runs such as Gulph Creek and Mill Creek that drain into the Schuylkill. A heavy concentration of burial grounds, including the Montgomery Cem and Gladwyne Jewish Memorial Cem, provides a detailed record for genealogical research in these long-established riverfront communities.
