About this map

The Pennsylvania railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio line anchor the early 1950s landscape of southern Chester County, connecting the bustling boroughs of West Grove and Avondale. This region is defined by its educational and religious heritage, evident in the presence of the New London Academy and various local schoolhouses such as the Sunnyside Sch and Maple Grove Sch. The intricate network of waterways, including the Middle Branch White Clay Creek and East Branch White Clay Creek, carves through the townships of London Grove and New London, highlighting a terrain historically shaped by milling and agriculture.
