1895 Map of Norristown

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

The Schuylkill River carves a deep valley through this industrial landscape, where established borough life meets a dense network of competing nineteenth-century rail lines. At the heart of the map, Norristown and Bridgeport occupy the river banks, serving as hubs for the Pennsylvania R.R. and several branches of the Philadelphia and Reading R.R.. To the north, the Perkiomen Creek flows past Collegeville and Graters Ford, supporting smaller settlements such as Skippack and Lansdale.
