Paper Mill Run, Tributary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US
Paper Mill Run flows through Mount Airy and Germantown neighborhoods of Philadelphia, running beneath Lincoln Drive before emerging near Johnson Street.
William Rittenhouse established the first paper mill in America along this stream in the late seventeenth century, initiating local industrial development.
The stream carries the alternative name Monoshone Creek, which connects to local heritage through its valley, watershed, and nearby recreational parkland.
The stream functions as a trout-stocked fishery within Philadelphia city limits, providing opportunities for recreational fishing activities throughout the year.
A wetlands restoration project at Saylor's Grove commenced in 2006 to create natural buffers that reduce water pollution in the stream.
