2023 Map of Allentown West

About this map

Allentown and its western suburbs occupy a landscape defined by the winding paths of Jordan Creek, Little Lehigh Creek, and Cedar Creek. This contemporary survey shows a highly developed region where educational institutions like Muhlenberg College and Cedar Crest College are integrated into the urban fabric alongside numerous historic faith communities. The density of cemeteries, from Greenwood Cem to Keneseth Israel Cem, speaks to the long-established lineages of the Lehigh Valley. To the south, the terrain rises toward South Mountain, marking the transition from the valley floor to the prominent ridge. Smaller communities such as Wescosville, Trexlertown, and Emmaus are clearly delineated, showing how once-distinct villages have grown into a contiguous suburban corridor. Major transportation routes like the Rte 222 BYP and Rte 100 BYP underscore the area's role as a regional transit hub while surrounding local landmarks like Trexler Spring and Mosser Spring.
