This excerpt of an April 1998 aerial photograph on this page from the U.S. Geological Survey shows the landscape on which New Philadelphia was located. Approximate graphic depictions of the town lots and streets, as platted by Free Frank McWorter in 1836, have been overlain onto this aerial photo.

1872 Atlas Map of Pike County

This excerpt from the 1872 Atlas Map of Pike County shows the town lots and streets of Philadelphia, as it was originally known. It depicts the lot designations in a manner consistent with the original plat laid out by Free Frank McWorter in 1836. (The drawing of a river's edge along the lower left margin of this image is from an adjacent inset map unrelated to Philadelphia.) This Atlas also provided a map of the vicinity surrounding Philadelphia. Source: D. W. Ensign, Atlas Map of Pike County, Illinois, Davenport, Iowa: Andreas, Lyter & Co., 1872, p. 84.
