This site was created as a research project for Southwest Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, also known as the Fitler Square or Schuylkill areas.

The neighborhood covers the area between Eighteenth Street and the Schuylkill River and from Chestnut to South Street.

The orange lines indicate the boundaries of the neighborhood.

An areal map of the area (time taken unknown) by a group of University of Pennsylvania School of Design students in 2003.

Their interpretation of the neighborhood was from Twentieth Street to the Schuylkill River and from Christian Street to South Street and it is called "Schuylkill-Southwest."

This shows a map of Philadelphia with outlines of its 66 wards. Southwest Center City is located in the southwestern corner of Ward 8, outlined in red, which also includes neighborhoods such as Center City, Logan Circle, and Spring Garden.
