1942 Map of Allentown West
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The Lehigh River corridor serves as the industrial and logistical spine for Lehigh County in the early 1940s, bracketed by the dramatic rise of Blue Mountain and Bake Oven Knob to the north. This survey reveals a landscape where heavy rail infrastructure, including the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley Railroad, supports thriving riverside communities like Cementon and Egypt. Further inland, the map captures a transition toward institutional and recreational land use, notably featuring Cedar Crest College, the Lehigh County Home, and the expansive Trexler Game Preserve.
