About this map

Souderton and Telford form a dense urban corridor at the heart of this survey, which straddles the Bucks and Montgomery County line. The Reading railroad serves as the spine of industrial and residential growth, connecting these core boroughs to Sellersville, Perkasie, and Lansdale. Outside the developed centers, the landscape retains a strong agricultural character, marked by many rural landmarks such as Jerusalem Union Church and the Schwenkfelder Church.

Genealogists can trace family footprints across township lines including West Rockhill and Franconia, where burial grounds like St Pauls Cemetery and Lukins Cemetery are clearly noted. The topography is defined by the East Branch Perkiomen Creek and smaller tributaries like Indian Creek, while conservation areas such as State Game Lands No 196 occupy the more varied terrain of Ridge Valley to the north.
