1995 Map of Philadelphia

About this map

Fairmount Park serves as a massive green anchor for this urban landscape, where the Schuylkill River snakes past iconic landmarks like the Museum of Art and Memorial Hall. The dense grid of the city center preserves significant heritage sites including Independence Hall and Independence National Historical Park, surrounded by a collection of historic neighborhood squares such as Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square. To the south, the industrial and military importance of the waterfront is evident in the sprawling U S Naval Shipyard and the U S Naval Station Mustin Field, while sports culture is marked by the presence of both Veterans Stadium and Kennedy Stadium. The map also details numerous religious and educational institutions, from St Josephs University in the north to parish schools like St Thomas Aquinas Sch, reflecting the deep-rooted community fabric of 20th-century Philadelphia.
