About this map

The Delaware River forms a sharp boundary between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, centering this survey on the industrial and civic hubs of Easton and Phillipsburg. The convergence of the Lehigh River with the Delaware highlights the historic importance of these waterways for transport and power, as seen in the dense street grids of Wilson, West Easton, and South Easton. The map records an extensive collection of local cemeteries including the Easton Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, providing a detailed record of the region's genealogy.

Beyond the urban centers, the landscape transitions into several distinct peaks and valley settlements like Alpha, Tatamy, and Zucksville. Named terrain features such as Saint Anthonys Nose, Marble Mtn, and Elephant Rock punctuate the river valley, while islands like Whippoorwill Island and Old Sow Island dot the river's path. From the northern edge at Churchville to the southern reach of Raubsville and Hexenkopf Hill, the map documents the dense suburban and industrial footprint of the Lehigh Valley during the mid-2010s.
