In Search of the Source of the Wissahickon Creek Part II


The Montgomery County Planning Commission prepared the underlying map of the Wissahickon Creek Watershed. The intersection of the two red lines is at the Germantown Avenue Bridge. To find the source of the creek, the two red lines indicate the two most distant points from the bridge. Of the two lines, the one to Montgomeryville is clearly the longest, indicating that this must be the area where the source can be found. As seen previously, the alternative definition of the source states that "the furthest point from which water could possibly flow into the ocean," suggests that it is found on the watershed boundary. The map does not provide sufficient information as to the precise location source.
