This pair of maps engraved and published by A.H. Mueller shows the roads and railroads along the Philadelphia Main Line. The first map spans from Paoli to Overbroook, with the streets of Philadelphia laid out in grid form. Its key identifies steam and electric railways, county and township lines, 100 feet contour lines, macadamized roads, and state highways. The second map extends from Philadelphia to the Delaware state line. It also shows county and township lines and railroads as well as trolley lines, public roads, and "good roads." Both maps show Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Villanova, notable cemeteries, parks, and sports clubs.
