About this map

The Lehigh River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2010 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by industrial history and preserved crossings. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the riverbanks and rail lines, with established communities like Slatington and Laurys Station punctuating the valley. A series of hydraulic structures including the Treichlers Dam, Number Four Dam, and Old Laury Dam reveal the engineering legacy of the river's management.

The presence of multiple historic crossings, such as the Geiger Covered Bridge, Rex Covered Bridge, and Manassas Guth Covered Bridge, highlights the persistence of traditional infrastructure within a modernizing Lehigh County. Genealogists may find value in the various burial grounds like Egypt Cemetery and the Blessed Virgin Cemetery, while local historians can trace the transition from industrial hubs like Raubsville Mills and Cementon to recreational sites such as the Apple Hill Ski Resort and the Twin Lakes Golf Course.
