1952 Map of Plainfield

About this map

Conodoguinet Creek carves a winding path across this landscape, separating the townships of Upper Frankford and Lower Frankford from the rolling farmland of West Pennsboro. The map documents a mid-century rural society still anchored by local institutions, featuring numerous country schools such as Mt Pleasant School, Locust Point School, and West Pennsboro School. By the 1970s revisions, the heavy infrastructure of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and a Pipeline corridor cut through the older settlement patterns established at Plainfield and Bloserville.
