1953 Map of Saint Georges
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal serves as the dominant horizontal axis of this northern Delaware landscape, carving through a region defined by colonial-era church congregations and shifting mid-century transport hubs. In the early 1950s, the village of Saint Georges sits at the canal’s edge, supported by a network of educational and spiritual centers like Kings College, MacDonough Sch, and Lebanon Ch. The Pennsylvania railroad line bisects the territory north-to-south, connecting smaller stations and communities such as Porter, Kirkwood, and Mt Pleasant. This period shows a rural environment poised between its agricultural roots and modern infrastructure, where family history is anchored at sites like Pencader Ch and Hickory Grove Cem, while the expansive waters of Lums Pond and Silver Lake provide significant local landmarks amidst the subdivided civil districts.
