About this map

Bake Oven Knob and Blue Mountain define the northern limits of this landscape, overlooking a dense network of farming communities and crossroads settlements in the Lehigh Valley. Surveyed by Roscoe Reeves, the map documents a transition from the elevated terrain of Heidelberg and Washington townships down to the developed areas of Allentown and Salisbury. Higher education and social infrastructure are prominent, with Muhlenberg College, Cedar Crest College, and the Lehigh County Home situated near the urbanizing eastern edge.
