Montgomery County
The stone around it is close and small
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Collegeville maintenance shop 1.51 miles from here, in Montgomery County, which is also where this place sits.
The East Norriton Quarry lies about 4.5 miles south-east at Trooper with three people on the books, Harleysville Materials about 4.7 miles north with six, and Perkiomenville Quarry about 8.0 miles north-west at Green Lane with 17.
East and south the crews get larger: the Spring House Quarry about 9.1 miles east at Glenside with 15, the McCoy Quarry about 9.5 miles south at Swedeland with 18, and the Plymouth Meeting Quarry about 11.3 miles south-east with 30.
North and north-east it is Bucks County stone — Naceville Materials about 9.2 miles at Telford with 14, Eureka Stone Quarry about 11.5 miles east at Chalfont with eight, and H and K Materials about 11.8 miles north-east with 13 — with the Abrams yards about 7.4 miles south at King of Prussia.
A metropolitan aggregate market takes stone continuously rather than seasonally, so the hauls repeat and the traffic sets the pace.
