1957 Map of Quakertown

About this map

Quakertown and the surrounding townships of Richland and Haycock define this corner of Bucks County during a period of steady growth. The landscape is a mix of dense borough development and smaller outlying settlements like Richlandtown, Applebachsville, and Strawntown. Transit is anchored by the Reading railroad corridor, while a Drive-in Theater and Pennridge Airport reflect mid-century cultural shifts. Waterways such as Tohickon Creek and Cooks Creek wind through the terrain, which rises toward Rocky Ridge and Rock Hill.
