German Township Historic Maps

Philadelphia area historic map enthusiasts are very fortunate to be able to view and even download many historic maps of our area. The Greater Philadelphia GeoHistory Network,  a project of the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, is a great place to start looking for historic maps. This table shows some to the German Township historic maps.

I have tried to identify as many German Township, Germantown Borough as well as Ward 22 maps as I could. I’m sure that  I have missed many. Please offer suggstions for other maps that should be added to this list.
