Description
Named after the Pennsylvania Railroad route that once ran through the area, the Philadelphia Main Line is a historic suburban region that was home to the sprawling estates of some of the city’s wealthiest families. Reflecting such demographics, this map shows an inordinate concentration of private schools, country clubs, golf courses, and other signs of the affluent class.
Published in Philadelphia by the Franklin Survey Company, likely in the late 1950s.
