2013 Map of Nazareth

About this map

Nazareth serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey, surrounded by a cluster of established villages and burgeoning residential developments in Northampton County. The landscape is a complex mix of historic crossroads and modern infrastructure, where the legacy of the Moravian settlement at Christian Springs meets the industrial corridors along the Lehigh River. Significant water features like Schoeneck Creek and Monocacy Creek wind through the terrain, while the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Canal remains a prominent landmark of the region's transport history. Modern growth is evident in neighborhoods like Northwood Heights and Newburg Homes, yet the map still preserves the names of smaller, long-standing hamlets such as Hecktown, Farmersville, and Butztown. The presence of Bugs Airport and the Norfolk Southern railroad line highlights the continuing importance of this area as a transportation hub within the Lehigh Valley.
