1956 Map of Bangor
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Bangor and the neighboring boroughs of Roseto and Pen Argyl anchor this detailed study of the Slate Belt's industrial and residential landscape. Numerous quarries dot the hillsides, reflecting the region's deep ties to the slate industry, while a complex network of railroads including the Erie Lackawanna and Lehigh and New England crisscross the terrain to service these sites. To the south, the landscape follows the winding Martins Creek toward its confluence with the Delaware River, where the Penn Central rail line hugs the riverbank near Keifer Island.
