If you grew up on a street off Chester Pike, or your family still calls Norwood home, this map is for you. It's a modern aerial view of Norwood in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, made from modern data and given a vintage look. Thousands of small red buildings fill the blocks. Chester Pike cuts across on a long diagonal, and a rail line crosses near the Norwood Municipal Building. In the south end, the streets curve in loops, and the ball fields of Norwood Park sit near the blue water of the creek.

Norwood's oldest story goes back to the Swedish settlers. A state historical marker tells it. Morton Mortonson was a Swedish settler. He started the Morton Homestead about 1654, close by in what's now Prospect Park. About 1750, his great-grandson built a house in what's now Norwood. It's the Morton family's house. Its builder was a cousin of John Morton, who signed the Declaration of Independence.
The marker went up in 2019 at 517 Winona Avenue, by the drive to the house. It says the house is a reminder of Norwood Borough's connection to the early settlement of Delaware County. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Its listing puts it where Muckinipates Creek meets Darby Creek. On the map, that water is the wide blue band that curves past Norwood Park at the lower right.
