1965 Map of Hellertown

About this map

The Lehigh River flows through the northern industrial corridor of this mid-1960s survey, anchoring the urban development of Bethlehem and South Terrace. The landscape transition from heavy industrial infrastructure, including a prominent powerplant and multiple substations, into the borough of Hellertown reveals a dense network of civic and religious institutions. Local landmarks like the Lost River Caverns and the Ymca sit alongside numerous parochial schools such as St Michaels Sch and St Theresa Sch.
