About this map

Quakertown and Perkasie anchor this corner of Bucks County at the close of the twentieth century, showing a landscape defined by traditional borough centers and surrounding agricultural lands. The Quakertown and Eastern RR runs through the heart of the area, past the Quakertown Memorial Park and the historic Union Cem. To the east, the waters of Lake Nockamixon and Lake Towhee signal the importance of water management and regional recreation, while the Pennridge Airport and several modern substations mark the infrastructure of a growing suburban corridor.

Rural crossroads such as Richlandtown, Applebachsville, and Trumbauersville retain their distinct identities, often centered around local landmarks like the Haycock Ch or St Pauls Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed flats near the Shopping Center to the more wooded elevations of Rocky Ridge and Rock Hill, with significant acreage preserved as State Game Lands No 157 and State Game Lands No 139.
