2019 Map of Kunkletown

About this map

Chestnut Ridge dominates the northern portion of this landscape, creating a natural barrier that separates the valley of Buckwha Creek from the southern drainages. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the high ground of the ridge, passing south of Kunkletown and Smith Gap. This area reflects a long-established rural settlement pattern where small villages like Point Phillip, Klecknersville, and Emanuelsville are situated at key road intersections. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Saint Matthews United Church of Christ Cem and Saint Matthews Union Cem in the north, and Fairview Cem near Chapman in the southeast. Numerous waterways, including Hokendauqua Creek and Monocacy Cr, define the topography as they flow toward the Lehigh Valley, supporting small residential clusters and agricultural tracts.
