2013 Map of Lehighton

About this map

The Lehigh River carves a deep path through Carbon County, anchoring a dense network of riverfront settlements including Lehighton, Weissport, and Jim Thorpe. This 2013 survey reveals the industrial and transport heritage of the region, where the Lehigh Valley Tunnel and various junctions like Packerton Junction and Lizard Creek Junction mark the historic movement of goods through the valley. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of Union Hill and North Weissport to the recreational waters of Beltzville Lake and the high vantage point of the Flagstaff Mountain Overlook. To the north, the Lehigh Gorge provides a dramatic natural boundary, while the Indian Hills and Stone Ridge define the local topography. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange 34, showing how contemporary travel routes have overlaid the older patterns of the Mahoning Valley.
