2023 Map of Bangor

About this map

Bangor and its neighboring boroughs of Roseto and Pen Argyl anchor this detailed study of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent from the northern slate belt ridges toward the Delaware River, where historic crossings like the Martins Creek Ferry, Depuy Ferry, and Harmony Ferry once linked the two states. This era of the region’s development is characterized by a dense network of cemeteries and congregations, including the Scotch-Irish Presbyterian Church and Gethsemane Ministries Church Cem, reflecting the early immigrant heritage of the Slate Belt. Transport history is etched into the terrain through features like the Martins Creek Junction and the small aviation hubs of Gap View Airport and Markle Airport. From the industrial corridors of Martins Creek to the agrarian heights of Mt Airy, the map preserves a complex pattern of settlement along watercourses like Greenwalk Creek and Waltz Creek.
