1895 Map of Norristown

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

Norristown sits at the heart of this late-nineteenth-century landscape, positioned along a sweeping bend of the Schuylkill River. The industrial and transit character of the era is defined by a dense web of rail lines, including the Stony Creek RR and the Perkiomen RR, which branch north from the river valley into the surrounding townships. These corridors connect established hubs like Lansdale and Collegeville with smaller agricultural hamlets such as Skippack and Graters Ford.
