1956 Map of New Tripoli

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.
