Vine Creek culverts - under the Cynwyd Trail and to the Schuylkill

Explored by Alison Hirsch and Jack Ohly 2009-10-20. They walked from the location of Clegg's Mill in the middle up under the Cynwyd Heritage trail to the pillbox where Vine Creek goes underground, and then down downstream to its mouth at the Schuylkill River.
Jack sketched the route of the culverts and later drew them more formally. Max has combined them into one map, which starts each part of this site. Photos by Alison, Jack, and above ground by Max.
The upstream culvert is on page 1, while the downstream photos are on the remaining pages.
