About this map

The Lehigh River carves a deep path through Carbon County, anchoring a landscape where industrial infrastructure and mountain terrain converge. In the borough of Lehighton, the grid of streets transitions into the complex rail and water network of Packerton Junction and Weissport. This 2010 survey highlights the prominence of water management and recreation in the region, featuring the large Beltzville Lake and its associated dam, alongside older works like the Lehighton Reservoirs and Mahoning Creek Dam.

Tracing the southern valley reveals the transit corridor through Lizard Creek Junction and the Lehigh Valley Tunnel, which cuts beneath the ridgeline near Kittatinny. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Packerton Cemetery and New Dinkey Memorial Cemetery. Small settlements like Ashfield, Bowmanstown, and Hazard are documented along the river's winding course and the slopes of the Mahoning Hills.
