About this map

The Lehigh River snakes through the western edge of this Carbon County landscape, carving through prominent terrain like Bald Mountain and Scrub Mountain. Near the river's bend, the Rockport Tunnel and Penn Haven Junction mark critical infrastructure points in the local transit corridor. The map transitions from the steep valleys of Butcher Hollow to the upland settlements of Christmansville and Unionville, which are centered around a network of rural roads such as School House Rd and Drakes Creek Rd.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the eastern sector, evidenced by the Leheighton Reservoir and the Bear Creek Lake Dam. In the southern reaches, the community of Jim Thorpe is documented alongside several significant local burial grounds, including the German Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Immaculate Conception Cemetery, offering valuable data for genealogists tracking family history in the Lehigh Valley region.
