1960 Map of Christmans

About this map

The Lehigh River carves a deep, winding canyon through the mountains of Carbon County, serving as a primary corridor for the Central RR of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley RR. In the southern portion of the map, the borough of Jim Thorpe is shown following its mid-century consolidation, featuring the Jim Thorpe Tomb, Memorial Park, and the High Sch. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of Summer Mountain and Bald Mountain, largely preserved within State Game Lands No 141 and Penn State Forest.
