2016 Map of Freeland

About this map

Freeland and Upper Lehigh anchor the southeastern corner of this study, revealing a dense grid of streets and residential development situated against the northern edge of Buck Mtn. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Nescopeck Mtn and Little Nescopeck Mtn, which frame a valley of scattered hamlets and water features. To the west, the community of Drums and the unique institutional site at Kis-Lyn occupy the lower elevations near Little Nescopeck Creek. Modern infrastructure is evident in the path of the interstate passing through Nescopeck Pass, while recreational development is visible around Lake of the Four Seasons and the Beech Mountain Lakes area. Smaller historical settlements like Pardeesville, Drifton, and Woodside show the enduring footprint of earlier coal-era villages, while the Saint Ann Cemetery provides a focal point for genealogical research in the Freeland vicinity.
