1894 Map of Quakertown

About this map

Quakertown and its surrounding townships in Bucks, Montgomery, and Lehigh counties serve as the focal point for this late nineteenth-century survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of nineteenth-century villages such as Richlandtown, Trumbauersville, and Pennsburg, many of which were established as agricultural hubs or stops along the burgeoning rail lines. The Bethlehem Branch Phila. and Reading Railroad cuts a north-south path through the center of the sheet, facilitating growth in towns like Perkasie and Sellersville.
