  • 1819 Lower Dublin Township - John Melish Map of Philadelphia County 1819 Lower Dublin Township
    1819 Lower Dublin Township - John Melish Map of Philadelphia County 1819 Lower Dublin Township Lower Dublin and Upper Dublin Townships were officially established in 1701. Both townships were within Philadelphia County until 1784 when Montgomery County was created, including Upper Dublin Township. In 1816, the Pennsylvania legislature commissioned Philadelphia cartographer John Melish to produce the first detailed map of Philadelphia County. The map was published in 1819 and included a table in the bottom right hand corner with information on each township noting area, population, soil quality and geographic features. Lower Dublin Township (1819 map detail on preceding page) had an area of 9,500 acres (5 mi x 3 mi) – by far the largest township in Philadelphia County – with “gentle declivities”, “sandy loam” soil, and an 1810 population of 2164. Melish also notes the presence of four post offices within Philadelphia County and their distance from the city: Philadelphia (0 miles), Frankford (5 miles), Germantown (6 miles), and Holmesburg (9 miles). In 1819, Fox Chase, Bustle Town (Bustleton), and Holmesburg were Lower Dublin Township’s notable villages. All three grew around inns or public houses. By 1768 there was a Busseltown Tavern from which Bustleton would take its name. The village was located where the Welsh Road intersected the Bustleton-Smithfield Road. (The village of Smithfield – later Somerton - was at the border of Lower Moreland and Byberry Townships at Byberry Road.) Bustleton was the polling place for Lower Dublin Township voters. (In the 1828 Presidential election, the township voted 122 for John Adams and 173 for Andrew Jackson - the national winner.) The Bustleton Pike, like the Bristol Pike, is one of Philadelphia’s earliest roads dating back to circa 1690.

  • Middle Schuylkill River Conservation Landscape
    CHAPTER 13 Middle Schuylkill River Conservation Landscape The confl uence of the Perkiomen Creek and the Schuylkill River is at the center of the Middle Schuylkill River Conservation Landscape. The landscape includes the riparian corridor along the Schuylkill River from Port Kennedy to just below Royersford. Floodplains and forested cliffs and ravines along the river are signifi cant natural features. Valley Forge National Histori- cal Park, the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove, and the Oakes Reach of the Schuylkill Canal are important historical resources. Description Location The Middle Schuylkill River Conservation Landscape occupies 6,451 acres including parts of Upper and Lower Providence and Upper Merion Townships and extends up the Perkio- men Creek to Yerkes. It adjoins the Skippack Creek Conservation Landscape and the Middle Perkiomen Creek Corridor (Figure 13.1). Core areas include Valley Forge National Historical Park and the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove. Other publicly owned tracts include Lock 60 and the Oakes Reach of the Schuylkill Canal, Upper Schuylkill Valley Park, and Lower Perkiomen Valley Park. The Perkiomen Trail connects with the Schuylkill River Trail within this landscape. Another connection is with the Horseshoe Trail, which starts at Valley Forge National Historical Park and extends through Chester County to the west. The Montgomery County open space plan also envisions a trail along Skippack Creek connecting with Evansburg State Park. Hydrology This landscape is entirely within the Schuylkill River drainage basin. It includes the mouth and lower reach of the Perkiomen Creek, as well as several small tributaries that enter the Schuylkill River on the northeast side.

  • Middle Perkiomen Creek Corridor
    CHAPTER 8 Middle Perkiomen Creek Corridor The Middle Perkiomen Creek Corridor is focused on the riparian corridor along the Perkiomen Creek and the lower reach of the East Branch Perkiomen Creek. It provides a setting for the Perkiomen Trail and contains habitat for riparian species. The corridor is a critical link in the county trail network as it provides the connection between the Schuylkill River and Perkiomen Creek trails. Description Location The corridor extends for approximately seven miles along the Perkiomen Creek from the south end of Schwenksville to the mouth of Skippack Creek just below Arcola. It takes in a total of 1,750 acres, including portions of Salford, Skippack, Perkiomen, Lower Providence, and Up- per Providence Townships and Collegeville Borough. The corridor links the Spring Mountain Conservation Landscape with the Skippack Creek and the Middle Schuylkill River Landscapes (Figure 8.1). Hydrology The corridor is entirely within the watershed of the Perkiomen Creek and includes the lower por- tions of several tributaries including the East Branch Perkiomen Creek. Floodplain wetlands are included as are 3 large islands located at Rhans, Yerkes, and Arcola. This stretch of the Perkiomen Creek is classifi ed as WWF MF (warm water fi shery, migra- tory fi shes). Geology From Schwenksville to Yerkes, the cor- ridor is underlain by Brunswick Forma- tion shales and siltstones with a few narrow bands of Lockatong Formation argillites. Below Yerkes the Lockatong Formation dominates the landscape, and creates the steep slopes that defi ne the Perkiomen Creek between Schwenksville and Collegeville creek valley (Figure 8.2). In 1993 dinosaur footprints were discovered in exposed strata of a band of Lockatong that cross- es the Graterford Prison site that is adjacent to the corridor.
