1960 Map of Perkiomenville

About this map

Perkiomen Creek and its many tributaries carve through the rolling landscape of Montgomery County, defining the settlement patterns of traditional Pennsylvania villages such as Sumneytown, Zieglersville, and Harleysville. The region is marked by a high density of early ecclesiastical sites, including the historic Old Goshenhoppen Ch and Friedens Union Ch, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. The 1960 planimetry, updated with 1970s revisions, shows the area as it transitioned into a modern suburban-rural mix, with the Northeast Extension Pennsylvania Turnpike cutting across Franconia and Salford townships.
