The main sources of Vine Creek are around Lodges Lane and Bryn Mawr Avenue in Cynwyd, approximately one mile from this location. Vine Creek generally ran parallel to the path of the railroad bed. Several creeks, including Vine Creek in Manayunk and West Manayunk, cut deep ravines into the landscape and emptied into the Schuylkill River. These creeks provided the power source for many textiles and paper mills. Vine Creek itself hosted four mills, including William Clegg's Cotton Mill, John Grindred Grist Mill, and Isaac Wetherill's Mill.
