About this map

The industrialized corridor between Bethlehem and Nazareth shows a dense network of suburban expansion and institutional development in the mid-1960s. The northern focus is centered on the historic Moravian influence near Nazareth, where the Moravian Cem and Holy Family Ch stand alongside the Gracedale County Home. Further south, the landscape transitions from the agricultural crossroads of Hecktown and Newburg toward the growing residential hubs of Palmer Heights and East Hills.

Transportation and infrastructure dominate the southern portion of the sheet, defined by the Lehigh River and the Bethlehem-Easton Airport. The presence of the Naval Reserve Training Center and numerous limestone Quarries reflects the region's diverse economic base. Local genealogists will find value in the precise locations of smaller settlements like Christian Springs and Butztown, as well as several historically significant burial grounds including Holy Saviour Cemetery and St Johns Cem.
