1964 Map of Nazareth

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Nazareth and the northern outskirts of Bethlehem dominate this Lehigh Valley landscape during a period of significant suburban expansion. The transition from industrial and agricultural roots is visible through the numerous quarries and the legacy of the Lehigh Canal along the Lehigh River, while new purple-tinted residential growth reaches toward Hecktown and Palmer Heights. Local history is deeply rooted in institutions like the Moravian Seminary For Girls and the Gracedale County Home, alongside many faith-based landmarks such as the St Francis Friary and Holy Family Ch. The infrastructure of the era is marked by the Lehigh and Erie-Lackawanna rail lines and the presence of the Church Hill Airport, illustrating a region in the midst of modernizing its transit and residential footprint.
