2016 Map of Nazareth

About this map

The borough of Nazareth anchors this portion of Northampton County, displaying a landscape where historic Moravian roots meet modern suburban expansion. Religious and genealogical history is prominent through sites such as the Moravian Cem, Holy Family Cem, and the Saint Johns Cem. To the south, the industrial and transport corridor follows the Lehigh River, where the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Canal remains a visible landmark of Pennsylvania’s anthracite-moving past. The area between Nazareth and Bethlehem is a dense network of named communities, from Hecktown and Smoketown to more recent developments like Northwood Heights and William Penn Manor. Significant landmarks including Bugs Airport and the Northampton County Area Community College illustrate the mid-20th-century transition from agrarian fields to educational and aviation infrastructure.
