1924 Map of Mauch Chunk

About this map

The Lehigh River carves a dramatic path through the mountains of Carbon County, anchoring an industrial corridor where the Lehigh Valley Railroad and Central Railroad of New Jersey compete for space on narrow riverbanks. At the heart of the region, Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk sit tucked beneath the shadows of Mt. Pisgah and Bear Mountain. The landscape reveals a dense network of early 20th-century coal and rail infrastructure, from the Rockport Tunnel in the north to the busy yards at Packerton and the industrial activity in Palmerton.
