1976 Map of Palmerton
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Palmerton is situated along the base of the prominent ridge line that bisects this 1976 orthophotoquad, showing the industrial and residential footprint of this Carbon County borough. The imagery captured by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service provides a clear look at the agricultural patterns and forest cover defining the region in the mid-1970s. To the north, the waters of Beltzville Lake are visible, while the southern portion of the map covers the settlements of Slatington, Walnutport, and Danielsville. This specialized map type uses rectified aerial photography to show the exact state of land use, from the dense street grids of the boroughs to the individual farm fields and wooded slopes, offering a precise visual record of the Lehigh Valley landscape before further modern development.
