Problems that require finding someone who lived there in the 20s and 30s usually require getting on the phone. Call around the neighborhood. It's often helpful to start with a town historian, the town librarian, or, where I'd actually start if there is one, the local senior citizen's center. But make sure there isn't an old map first. The librarian would be who to ask that. Also try the Chester County Historical Society. In fact, they're more likely to have it than the town librarian.

Just the titles 'state road' and 'township road' don't give enough information to find the ones you seek, let alone tell if they are the same. I know there are township road maps available, free......saw them when I did a google....... but don't see how they could be of any help. What you need is someone who lived there in the 20-30s and remembers, but don't imagine that's likely, unfortunately.
