About this map

West Grove and Avondale anchor this section of Chester County, Pennsylvania, showing a landscape defined by small villages and an established agricultural-industrial network in the mid-20th century. The Penn Central railroad and Baltimore Pike serve as the primary east-west arteries, connecting the boroughs to outlying hamlets like Toughkenamon and Jennersville. The map illustrates a high density of rural institutions, including the New London Academy and several local schools like the Auburn Sch and Franklin Sch, which reflect the localized community structure of the era.
