About this map

The Lehigh River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation spine for this portion of eastern Pennsylvania, with the historic Lehigh Canal running parallel to its western bank. In the north, Slatington and Walnutport Acres flank the river, while the namesake community of Cementon occupies the southeastern bend. The map illustrates a landscape of established industrial settlements like Egypt, Stiles, and Laurys Station, balanced by substantial agricultural and recreational spaces such as Apple Hill Ski Resort and the Twin Lakes Golf Course.

Preservation of local infrastructure is evident in the cluster of historic spans over Jordan Creek, including the Manassas Guth Covered Bridge, Wehr Covered Bridge, and Rex Covered Bridge. These landmarks, alongside smaller hamlets like Raubs Mills and Scheidy, provide a detailed view of the region's development. The presence of Hi-Vu Airport and modern thoroughfares like 476 demonstrates the evolution from a canal-and-rail economy to a contemporary suburban and industrial landscape.
