1957 Map of Quakertown

About this map

Quakertown serves as the focal point of this mid-century portrait of northern Bucks County, showing a post-war landscape of established borough centers and evolving rural townships. The Reading railroad corridor remains a primary axis of development, connecting the main borough to surrounding hamlets like Shelly and Richlandtown. The survey highlights the civic and social infrastructure of the time, from the Drive-in Theater on the western edge of town to traditional landmarks such as the Union Cem and Central Sch.
