1966 Map of Valley Forge

About this map

Valley Forge National Historical Park anchors the landscape of this mid-century survey, preserving the revolutionary ground of Mount Joy and Mount Misery along the Schuylkill River. The map highlights a critical junction of history and mid-century suburban expansion, showing the preserved sites of Washingtons Headquarters and the Washington Memorial Ch adjacent to the burgeoning commercial center of King of Prussia. The region’s industrial past is still visible through scattered Quarries and the Great Valley Mills, while the rail network including the Reading and Penn Central lines defines the movement through the Schuylkill valley.
