Summary
SOME OLD LOCAL ESTATES or A WALK BY THE MAP SEVENTY YEARS AGO Read before the Society by John Mendenhall, April 30th, 1918.

Published in the booklet: "Papers Read Before The Historical Society of Frankford, Vol. 2, No. 7" (for the year 1922).

This map shows the location of Rush's "Cottage Farm," and its proximity to "Fairview Farm," and  Harrowgate Mineral Springs, (both mentioned in the newspaper articles.)

The red line was the trail of the walk. The portion of the red line between Asylum Pike and Fishers lane was a continuation of Fishers Lane. (Today that portion is called Ramona Avenue.)

Captain Eve's Powder-Mill was located on Powdermill Lane and Frankford Creek.
