1960 Map of Palmerton

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Palmerton and Slatington anchor this landscape where industrial infrastructure meets the steep terrain of Blue Mountain. The Lehigh River corridor serves as a narrow thoroughfare for the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley Railroad, running parallel to the historic Lehigh Canal. To the north, the planned inundation of Beltzville Lake is visible in purple hatching along Pohopoco Creek, a significant change to the valley near Stemlersville.
