1997 Map of Lehighton
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
The Lehigh River carves a deep path through the Carbon County landscape, serving as a corridor for the Lehigh Valley RR and Conrail lines that define the industrial heritage of the valley. Centered on Lehighton and Weissport, the map reveals a dense network of river-bottom settlements including Packerton, Jamestown, and Bowmanstown. The geography is constrained by the steep rise of Bear Mountain and the Mahoning Hills, forcing transportation routes like the Pennsylvania Turnpike to follow the narrow valley floors.
