About this map

Blue Mountain dominates this Pennsylvania landscape, with the Appalachian Trail tracing its high ridge above the rural valleys of Lehigh and Schuylkill counties. In the lowlands, a network of small farming communities and industrial sites illustrates the region's mid-century character. Resource extraction is evident near the ridge at the Limestone Quarry and Sand Pit, while the Reading railroad corridor serves settlements like Snyders and Wanamakers.

Educational and social life is anchored by local institutions such as the Bolich Sch and Kistler-Longacre Sch, alongside community hubs like Ontelaunee Park and the New Jerusalem Ch. The presence of numerous family-named landmarks, including the Fetherolfsville Bridge and Ulrichs Bridge over Ontelaunee Creek, provides significant detail for genealogists tracing the established families of the Lynn and Albany townships.
