2019 Map of Bangor

About this map

Bangor and its surrounding borough-and-creek landscape define this portion of the Slate Belt in Northampton County. The terrain is deeply tied to the winding course of Martins Creek and its many tributaries, including Waltz Creek and Greenwalk Creek, which pass through a dense network of industrial-era settlements like Pen Argyl, Ackermanville, and Flicksville. The map captures the significant elevation changes leading toward Old Hound Ridge and the transition toward the river valley. To the south, the landscape opens at the Delaware River, where the protected corridor of the Lower Delaware Wild and Scenic River forms the state boundary with New Jersey. Transportation history is evident at the rail interface of Martins Creek Junction and the small aviation fields of Gap View Airport and Markle Airport.
