About this map

West Chester and the surrounding townships of Chester County are defined by a complex network of established settlements and educational landmarks. The map details the significant presence of higher education at W Chester Univ of Pennsylvania and Cheyney Univ of Pennsylvania, the latter situated near the border of Delaware County. Historical continuity is evident in the numerous burial grounds, including the Hicksite Friends Cem, Saint Agnes Cem, and the Thornbury African Methodist Episcopal Cem.

Drainage patterns for the region are shaped by the Brandywine Creek and various branches of Chester Creek, such as W Br Chester Cr and E Br Chester Cr. Transport corridors like the W Chester Byp and Wilmington Pike connect smaller outlying locales including Darlington Corners, Dilworthtown, and Sconnelltown, illustrating the area's transition from colonial-era mills and crossroads to a modern residential and institutional landscape.
