2016 Map of Lehighton
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Lehigh River carves a deep path through the coal region of Pennsylvania, framing the industrial and residential heart of Lehighton and Jim Thorpe. This 2016 survey highlights the complex transportation and water management systems of Carbon County, from the massive Beltzville Lake to the north to the Lehigh-Valley Tunnel cutting through the southern ridges. Small settlements like Packerton and Weissport maintain their distinct identities along the riverbanks, while the ridges of Blue Mountain and Mauch Chunk Ridge hem in the valley. For genealogists, the map locates several burial grounds including Packerton Cem and New Dinkey Memorial Cem. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the high southern boundary, marking the transition into the Lehigh County line at Lehigh Furnace Gap.
