Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 1- The Wissahickon Page 76 contains a lined sheet of white notepaper with Jellet's Notes entitled "Wiissahickon Waters". Page 76 is a continuation of notes begun on page 70 (see 2013.34.1.70). The page can be summarized as follows: From Lansdale, it flows southeasterly to a point near Gwynedd Square, where it then flows southeast and below West Point, it is joined by a branch from North Wales. At one time, a sawmill operated at Welsh Road. The stream now crosses the road as a meadow brook. From North Wales, the stream flows southeast to Pennlyn where augmented by contributions from both east and west, the volume is increased significantly to that of a creek.
