Factories, rail yards and riverside properties along the Delaware are mapped block by block in these 1929 sheets from the Atlas of the City of Philadelphia, published by G. W. Bromley and Company. Drawn from surveys and official plans for property and insurance use, they cover Frankford, Wissinoming, Tacony, Holmesburg and Torresdale in Northeast Philadelphia, naming streets, industrial sites and institutional grounds around Frankford Creek and Pennypack Creek. An index sheet shows how the plates fit together, and the title page records the atlas itself. They are ideal for locating a building or tracing a neighbourhood before later redevelopment.
