About this map

The borough of West Chester anchors a landscape defined by collegiate institutions and residential expansion in this 2010 topographic survey. Academic hubs like West Chester University of Pennsylvania North Campus and Cheyney University of Pennsylvania are prominent features, reflecting the area's role as a regional educational center. The map details an extensive network of suburban developments such as Goshenville, Meriweather Farms, and Clock Tower Woods that have filled the spaces between older agricultural landmarks and country estates.

Tracing the waterways like Chester Creek and Brandywine Creek reveals the historical industry of the region, evidenced by sites like Brintons Mill and the Gneiss Quarry. Significant genealogical resources are documented throughout, including the Old Cheyney Cemetery, Birmingham Lafayette Cemetery, and the Thornbury African Methodist Episcopal Cemetery. This modern survey provides a clear look at how contemporary infrastructure like the Brandywine Airport and major roads intersect with the legacy of old Chester County settlements.
